Heartless Hunter introduces readers to a gripping fantasy world where magic is feared and witches are persecuted after a devastating revolution. Rune, a powerful witch, lives a dangerous double life: a frivolous socialite by day and the vigilante Crimson Moth by night, rescuing her kind from ruthless hunters. Her plan to gain intel by seducing the formidable witch hunter Gideon Sharpe backfires when genuine feelings develop, complicating their intricate dance of deception. This young adult novel explores themes of identity, prejudice, justice, and forbidden love, set against a backdrop of political intrigue and danger. It's a compelling read for teens who enjoy morally gray characters and high-stakes romance.
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?
