Join us as we dissect one of the most pivotal and entertaining sections of Heartless Hunter. From Rune's risky encounter with the Truth Teller wine to Gideon's surprise dressmaking skills, these chapters were packed with tension, humor, and heartwarming moments. We're going to peel back the layers of these characters as they navigate their ruses. And it is time to talk about the dynamic (and awkward) relationships between Rune, Gideon, and Alex, as well as the themes of trust, loyalty, and unspoken (unrequited) emotions.

Let's launch into the world of "Heartless Hunter" by Kristin Ciccarelli. We're exploring the complex dynamics of a post-revolution society where witches are hunted and must hide their identities. Join the discussion as we unravel the romantic tension between the witch vigilante, Rune Winters, and the notorious witch hunter, Gideon Sharpe. We're just getting started and will, of course, speculate on character motivations, plot twists, and the easily grasped magic system.

Don't forget to drop your theories in the comments!

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.
