About this listen

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 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.

Critic reviews

"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

“Enchanting and deeply romantic, The Crimson Moth 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

"Kristen Ciccarelli bewitched me with raw storytelling talent! THE CRIMSON MOTH is a gritty caper and a delectable enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance rolled into one. From the high-stakes intrigue, to the rich world-building, to the enthralling magic system, to the toe-curling tension between two striking characters who are destined to be foes but can’t keep their hands (and hearts) to themselves—there is nothing about this book that I don’t fervently adore." Thea Guanzon, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

“COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN…It’s the sexy witchy lady PIMPERNELL retelling we all deserve” Kester Grant, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Court of Miracles

Just Brilliant

I've read & listened to hundreds and hundreds of books in the last few years and this is easily one of the best, fantastic story line with lots of twists and turns and the narration is perfect. I can't wait for the next!

The adventure.

A fantastic, thrilling, tense and heartbreaking read. The characters were multi-layered and well developed. The names were also exciting, original and unique. Each character practically had the potential to have their own novella, a clever hint by the author. I would love to know more about certain characters that were not given a brief backstory. As for the main protagonists, Rune & Gideon, wrong but right as well, what chemistry! I can't wait to find out what happens next, will their paths cross again? It is inevitable!

Brilliant from the start

Great characters, instant world building and brilliant interplay between characters.

I did not want it to end. It’s so long until the next book, Jan 2025. It’s a duology so only one more.

I think the book and pov would have benefited from duel narration.

My new favourite book!

I love the original idea of witches in this book and the way they use their magic is unique. The description of the scenery and characters is beautiful and I can imagine the world the author created.

The story was fantastic and I love the characters. I love the romance between Rune and Gideon and the ending was heartbreaking! I can't wait for the next book to come out!

Predictable in places but enjoyable

Once I got over the fact I'd accidentally bought YA (!) I enjoyed the production. Narrator was a good story teller but felt her characters were a little exagerated/not quite right. Will listen to the sequel.

Moral dilemma

Predictably average story. World building isn't great and the characters feel very 2 dimensional. Most of the relationships happen off the page so can't feel their connection.
