Publisher's summary

"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

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 Heartless Hunter is the thrilling start to a romantic fantasy duology where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch...is falling in love.

“Enchanting and deeply romantic, Heartless Hunter 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

Please tell me there will be a book 2

Loved this story. Would highly recommend! No smut for those that are interested but a great story line. I would recommend ages 13 on up.

I’d marry Gideon.

I was so into this story and immersed into their world. There was no lull or anything. It’s one of those books that you aren’t paying any attention to the authors style because you’re just thinking about what happens next. No predictable tropes IMA!

Best Cat and Mouse in a long time

The story was a bit predictable, but not in a way I would deter people from reading it. It was a good story. I’m looking forward to book 2.

The relationship between the FML and MML was the best cat and mouse I’ve read in a long time. I enjoyed their back and forth, their cunning, and their doubts. Nice job.

So good

i really enjoyed the story and the world I wish there wpuld be more depth on the crests that show up from magic and how each user has a specific smell to their magic hopefully thays covered in book 2

I couldn’t stop listening!

I loved this book so much! I wish it could’ve gone on and on. So many exciting twist. Such a great Rival to lover romance. 10 out of 10

Omg this book was crazy 🤯 but in a good way lol. I haven't been this stressed out reading a book in awhile. It was way more suspenseful than I expected. Ugh the ending had me sobbing 💔 and what the actual fuck with that ending! I did not know this was part of a series and I need the next book like yesterday 😭 this book will literally be haunting my mind until I get the next one. It’s seriously way better than I expected it to be. If you haven't read this book stop what you are doing and go read it!!!
