Publisher's Summary

Enemies-to-lovers doesn't get more high stakes than a witch and a witch hunter falling in love in bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy.

On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is.

Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe – a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution – who she can't help but find herself falling for.

Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune’s merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting?

Kristen Ciccarelli’s The Crimson Moth is the thrilling start to a romantic fantasy duology where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch…is falling in love.

Critic Reviews

"A steamy game of cat and mouse between witch and witch-hunter, played out against a backdrop of opulence, secrets, and bloody history. I couldn't look away." Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Champion of Fate

“Enchanting and deeply romantic, The Crimson Moth drew me in with the first sentence and left me breathless by the last. A story that unfolds like a spell, and one that is destined to capture your heart.” Rebecca Ross, New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals

"Kristen Ciccarelli bewitched me with raw storytelling talent! THE CRIMSON MOTH is a gritty caper and a delectable enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance rolled into one. From the high-stakes intrigue, to the rich world-building, to the enthralling magic system, to the toe-curling tension between two striking characters who are destined to be foes but can’t keep their hands (and hearts) to themselves—there is nothing about this book that I don’t fervently adore." Thea Guanzon, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

“COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN…It’s the sexy witchy lady PIMPERNELL retelling we all deserve” Kester Grant, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Court of Miracles

Beautifully narrated And a fascinating story

Starting this story after reading lots of fantasy was a change for me
Even though I love witches I was still a bit suspicious of this being a cheesy tale
But what a surprise to find a rich and wonderful character a banging storyline and a hot bad man
A great read !!!!👌
Even though this is not a series it’s a fantastic stand alone book 📕
Highly Highly recommended 🔥🔥🙏

Sensational

Absolutely loved this book!! The characters allow you to get a real feel for the world they live in, the writing is that great.
Rune and Gideon for me are the stand outs within book 1 and it kills me I have to wait until next year to see what comes next.

Again VERY highly recommend.

Easy-read Fantasy

This book was an extremely captivating read. Great pacing and I feel like it’s an easy read fantasy novel that would be enjoyed by all readers, not just fantasy fans. It’s filled with magic, rebellion, suspense, love that could be lethal and plenty of twists and turns. I can’t believe I have to wait until next year to see what happens next!
The audible narrator was great✨

Addicted with the first Chapter

Enemies to loves trope, not an unusual story, but Still very addictive for Romantasy readers who like SJM, Fourth Wing or Powerless. Just wish the second book was release a bit sooner pre-ordering now

How unexpectedly and emotionally invested I became in the characters.

I found myself connecting with the characters slowly, to which I realised how invested I became about half way through. The narrator was excellent and read each characters lines flawlessly. I enjoyed the political turmoil that plagued both sides of pro-witches and anti-witches. The way the author spun the words together made you see both sides of the story in a way that left you confused to which side you’re on. This is something I haven’t experienced when reading a book as I establish this relatively early, it’s made me want to read the sequel and figure out which side I am on - Pro with or anti witch….
