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.

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.

La magie est tombée... Venez assister à l'avènement de la Nouvelle République, porté par la voix éraillée de Zina Khakhoulia et le timbre profond de Gabriel Bismuth ! La révolution touche à sa fin : les Sœurs Reines sont tombées, et la caste des sorcières avec elles. Celles qui dominaient le pays sont désormais traquées et exécutées, leur magie faiblit de jour en jour. Descendante d'une lignée de sorcières, Rune est parvenue à conserver son statut au sein de la haute société, mais n'en oublie pas ses origines pour autant.

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.

Once, there were two sisters born with a bond so strong that it forged them together forever. Roa and Essie called it the hum. It was a magic they cherished - until the day a terrible accident took Essie’s life and trapped her soul in this world. Dax - the heir to Firgaard’s throne - was responsible for the accident. Roa swore to hate him forever. But eight years later, he returned, begging for her help. He was determined to dethrone his cruel father, under whose oppressive reign Roa’s people had suffered.

La noche en la que la vida de Rune cambió para siempre, la sangre corría por las calles. Ahora, tras una revolución devastadora, las brujas se han convertido en criminales perseguidas. Durante el día finge no ser más que una joven superficial de la alta sociedad, pero por la noche es la Polilla Carmesí, una bruja justiciera que salva a las suyas de la purga. Cuando la vida de la única familia que le queda se pone en peligro, decide conseguir la información confidencial que tan desesperadamente necesita cortejando al apuesto Gideon Sharpe, un cazador famoso, implacable y leal a la revolución.

At the end of one world, there always lies another. Safire, a soldier, knows her role in this world is to serve the king of Firgaard - helping to maintain the peace in her oft-troubled nation. Eris, a deadly pirate, has no such conviction. Known as the Death Dancer for her ability to evade even the most determined of pursuers, she possesses a superhuman power to move between worlds. Now Safire and Eris - sworn enemies - find themselves on a common mission: to find Asha, the last Namsara.

No matter how far she runs, the forest of Edgewood always comes for Emeline Lark. The scent of damp earth curls into her nose when she sings and moss creeps across the stage. It’s as if the woods of her childhood, shrouded in folklore and tall tales, are trying to reclaim her. But Emeline has no patience for silly superstitions.

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.
