Set in the aftermath of a revolution that has stripped witches of power and left them hunted, this romantasy follows Rune, who conceals her identity as a witch by posing as a shallow socialite while secretly operating as a vigilante called the Crimson Moth to rescue her kind. To gather intelligence and divert suspicion, she sets out to court Gideon Sharpe, a feared witch hunter loyal to the revolution. Unbeknownst to her, Gideon pursues the courtship in return to investigate a connection between Rune and the smuggling of witches, and each finds themselves drawn to the other despite the danger their true loyalties pose.
