Synopsis

Rune Winters is on the run. After Gideon Sharpe discovered what she truly was and delivered her into the hands of the people hunting her kind, she has nowhere left to turn but to Cressida Roseblood — a witch as ruthless as she is powerful, who is plotting to tear down the Republic and put witches back in power by any means necessary.

Gideon has spent his life fighting to keep his world from returning to the tyranny witches once held over it, and Rune's betrayal only confirms what he always feared: that he can't trust her, and that the woman he loved was never who she claimed to be. But when an uneasy alliance forces the two of them back into each other's orbit, Gideon has to decide whether protecting his world means destroying the person he still can't stop loving.

Rebel Witch is the concluding half of The Crimson Moth duology, closing out Rune and Gideon's story amid rising political violence, hard choices, and a fight neither of them can win without losing something they can't get back.
