About this listen

The heart-rending conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Crimson Moth duology that began when a heartless hunter met a rebel witch…

‘Enchanting and deeply romantic’ REBECCA ROSS

A witch. A witch hunter. A love so deadly it could set the world on fire…

Rune Winters is on the run from the republic who condemned her and the boy who betrayed her. Her friends, her home, and the life she knew are lost.

An ocean away, her only ally is the unlikeliest one: Cressida Roseblood, the deposed witch queen intent on taking back what she thinks hers – the crown, the country, and Gideon Sharpe with it.

Gideon will not allow the terrors of his past to rise again, even if this means hunting down every last witch. But there is only one witch who holds the key to Cressida’s return…and Gideon’s heart.

And he will stop at nothing to find her. Rune Winters will meet her end. Even if it ends him too.

*The Crimson Moth is published as Heartless Hunter in North America.*

Editorial Review

Corrupt witches and heartless witch hunters
Kristen Ciccarelli’s Heartless Hunter reeled me in for its creative world of blood-drawing witches and the delightful game of cat and mouse between secret witch Rune Winters and witch hunter Gideon Sharpe. In Rebel Witch, the conclusion to the Crimson Moth duology, the stakes are even higher and the games have turned into war. It’s hard to know which side you want to win—they all have issues—but what I do know is that I’m going to be having a great time listening to Grace Gray’s melodic narration as the trickery amps up and we find out which side Gideon and Rune are going to fight for. —Melissa B., Audible Editor

Perfection. This duology was all I needed and more! I was so swept away in this story and world that I found it hard to resurface. I could live here forever!

Was just as gripping and thrilling as the first. Loved the change of scenery and the conclusion was very clever, a fantastic end to the duology however I am sad to no longer have anymore adventures left with these characters!! So much love for this series! Loved the magic system, the slow burn, enemies to lovers, the romance, the jealousy. It had me feeling all the feels, beautifully written!

Fantastic!
