The stakes are even higher in this epic, romantic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Crimson Moth duology. A WITCH... Rune Winters is on the run. Ever since the boy she loved, Gideon Sharpe, revealed who she was and delivered her into enemy hands, everyone wants her dead. If Rune hopes to survive, she must ally herself with the cruel and dangerous Cressida Roseblood, who''s planning to take back the Republic and reinstate a Reign of Witches-something Cressida needs Rune to accomplish. A WITCH HUNTER... Apparently it wasn''t enough for Rune to deceive Gideon; she''s now betrayed him by allying herself with the witch who made his life a living hell. Gideon won''t allow the Republic to fall to the witches and be plunged back into the nightmares of the past. In order to protect this new world he fought for, every last witch must die-especially Rune Winters. AN IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE...

The more they''re forced into each other''s company, the more Gideon realizes the feelings he had for Rune aren''t as dead and buried as he thought. Now he''s faced with a terrible choice: sacrifice the girl he loves to stop a monster taking back power, or let Rune live and watch the world he fought so hard for burn. In Kristen Ciccarelli''s Rebel Witch, the exciting conclusion to The Crimson Moth duology, love has never been so deadly.

Osudová láska, nebo smrtící nepřítel? První díl YA romantické fantasy duologie. Mladá čarodějnice Rune před světem předstírá, že je jen povrchní dívka s obrovským majetkem - po nocích však jako Karmínová můra zachraňuje jiné čarodějnice před očistou. Aby získala tajné informace, začne se dvořit Gideonu Sharpeovi, známému a nelítostnému lovci čarodějnic s hlavou plnou revolučních ideálů. Ten si však brzy uvědomí, že pod její povrchní fasádou se skrývá citlivá, inteligentní žena, která by mohla být jeho dokonalým protějškem. Jenže co když je právě ona tím zlem, po němž pátrá? Nakladatelská anotace.

C''è stato un tempo in cui le streghe come Rune erano ai vertici della società, rispettate e temute da tutti. Ora, dopo una rivoluzione sanguinosa che ha condotto al bando della magia e all''emarginazione delle streghe, queste ultime vengono braccate dalle guardie della Nuova Repubblica per essere arrestate e infine giustiziate. A Rune perciò non resta che nascondere la sua vera natura. Ma, se durante il giorno trascorre il suo tempo come una qualunque giovane nobildonna tutta lustrini e mondanità, di notte assume le sembianze della Falena Cremisi per aiutare le sorelle streghe a scappare e salvarsi così da una sorte orrenda. Il suo piano prosegue senza ostacoli fino a che non incrocia sulla sua strada Gideon Sharpe, il servitore più devoto nonché il cacciatore di streghe più spietato della Nuova Repubblica. Sospettando un legame tra la ragazza e la Falena, l''irreprensibile Gideon inizia a frequentarla assiduamente per scoprire la verità e catturare la misteriosa alleata delle streghe. Rune, dal canto suo, per continuare nella sua opera di salvataggio, ha bisogno di informazioni che solo il ragazzo possiede, perciò per estorcergliele decide di corteggiarlo ben sapendo che dovrà prestare molta attenzione. Avvicinarsi troppo al suo affascinante nemico, come una falena alla fiamma, potrebbe essere rischioso. Per il suo segreto. Per la sua vita. E per il suo cuore.

From Kristen Ciccarelli, New York Times bestselling author of the Crimson Moth duology ( The Heartless Hunter and Rebel Witch), comes the first installment of a soaring dragon fantasy trilogy about a girl who must hunt the creature that destroyed her town and caused her own ostracism from society. In the beginning, there was the Namsara: the child of sky and spirit, who carried love and laughter wherever he went. But where there is light, there must be darkness—and so there was also the Iskari. The child of blood and moonlight. The destroyer. The death-bringer. These are the legends that Asha, daughter of the king of Firgaard, has grown up learning in hushed whispers, drawn to the forbidden figures of the past. But it isn''t until she becomes the fiercest, most feared dragon slayer in the land that she takes on the role of the next Iskari—a lonely destiny that leaves her feeling more like a weapon than a girl. Asha conquers each dragon and brings its head to the king, but no kill can free her from the shackles that await at home: her betrothal to the cruel commandant, a man who holds the truth about her nature in his palm. When she''s offered the chance to gain her freedom in exchange for the life of the most powerful dragon in Firgaard, she finds that there may be more truth to the ancient stories than she ever could have expected. With the help of a secret friend—a slave boy from her betrothed''s household—Asha must shed the layers of her Iskari bondage and open her heart to love, light, and a truth that has been kept from her.

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?
