Publisher Description
An instant New York Times bestseller!
Their love could never be forbidden. Book one in the Witch and Hunter duology, an epic enemies to lovers fantasy romance from New York Times bestselling authors Sara Raasch and Beth Revis.
Fritzi is a witch. The lone survivor of a brutal attack on her coven, she’s determined to find her only remaining family member and bring the hexenjägers—zealot witch hunters—to justice for the lives they ended. To do this, she will need to take down their leader, the merciless and enigmatic Kommandant Dieter Kirch.
Otto is a hexenjäger—but that’s just his cover. Years ago, the hexenjägers burned his innocent mother alive, and he has been plotting his revenge against the people who tore apart his family ever since. And now the time has come for them to pay for what they've done.
When Fritzi and Otto are unexpectedly thrown together, neither is sure they can trust the other. The reluctant truce fueled by their common enemy takes them from the city at the heart of the hexenjägers’ power to the wild and mysterious Black Forest. As old truths come to light and new dangers are revealed, Fritzi and Otto uncover a horrifying magical plot at the center of the hexenjäger attacks that leads back to Kommandant Kirch . . . but their own growing feelings for each other may be the most powerful magic of all.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A witch and a witch hunter must work together to vanquish a common enemy in this captivating tale of tragedy, romance, and revenge by Raasch (Snow Like Ashes) and Revis (Across the Universe). Fritzi, an 18-year-old witch, has lived a peaceful life with her coven in a village that is hidden by her mother's magic—until witch-hunting hexenjagers, led by brutal Kommandant Dieter Kirch, find and purge her community. The sole survivor of the massacre, Fritzi sets off to the hexenjager stronghold, intent on finding her captured cousin and exacting revenge on Kirch. A chance encounter with 19-year-old hexenjager Kaptain Otto Ernst, who has spent years plotting to bring down the corrupt organization from the inside, intertwines their fates. As the pair race to foil Kirch's plans, their reluctant alliance, which is initially plagued by mutual distrust and prejudice, develops into romantic attraction. Liberal use of German cultural references, history, and language render a believable and intriguing interpretation of 16th-century Trier, once part of the Holy Roman Empire. The authors sustain tension via Fritzi and Otto's alternating perspectives, and harrowing descriptions of body horror and trauma alongside quiet, tender moments of connection round out this beguiling series opener. Characters cue as white. Ages 14–up. Agents: (for Raasch) Amy Stapp, Wolfson Literary; (for Ravis) Merilee Heifetz, Writers House.
