About this listen
A criminal and a royal guard are drawn into the hunt for a dangerous witch – and an unexpected romance – in this crossover enemies-to-lovers romantasy, perfect for fans of The Crimson Moth.
Hunt the witch
Find the witch
Kill the witch
In Gadore, the Witch is feared above all else. Reborn into each generation, she is the only person with magic running innately through her veins.
When guards across the city begin to drop dead, gruesomely murdered by violent and vicious magic, everyone knows the Witch has returned – and no one will be safe until she’s killed.
Toran is the most highly skilled fighter in the King’s Guard. Tasked with leading the hunt for the Witch, he forcibly recruits Nes, a thief with an uncanny ability to sniff out magic.
But the Witch is always a step ahead, and with bodies piling up, secrets threaten to come to light – secrets that could destroy everything from the fragile trust between Toran and Nes, to the very city of Gadore itself.
