  • The Heartless Hunter is a romantasy novel filled with suspense, forbidden passion, and political conflicts. In a world where magic is relentlessly hunted, Rune lives a double life. By day, she pretends to be an innocent socialite, but by night, she transforms into the Purple Butterfly — a mysterious figure who helps witches escape the hunt. Everything changes when a mission goes wrong, and Rune decides to risk everything, playing a dangerous game with the hunter himself: Gideon Sharp.

    Gideon is a captain of the Blood Guard, dedicated to eradicating magic. However, when he approaches Rune pretending to be interested in her, to uncover the truth behind the Purple Butterfly, he doesn't expect to find a woman who unsettles him in every way — and slowly but surely, feelings dangerously intertwine.

    This book has everything you want from a good romantasy: a strong, fast-paced plot, tension, characters with chemistry, and solid suspense. The action scenes are well-written, while the political background adds substance to the story. The relationship between Rune and Gideon is the classic enemies-to-lovers with passion and inner turmoil.

    The ending? It leaves you wide-eyed and your heart racing. I literally closed it and immediately wanted to pick up the next one. If you love the genre, don’t miss it — The Heartless Hunter is one of those books you won't easily put down.

  • A fantasy book that will take you on a journey to a very well-structured and rich world with witches and a love story that started very wrong. Enemies who become lovers, a well-crafted magic system, and a plot with many developments and twists are just a few of the things that will hook you into this book.
    I would have liked it more if the execution was better and the writing style a bit more mature. I found the characters a bit superficial without much explanation and analysis of their profiles and personalities, while their chemistry at times was quite good and at other times somewhat forced.
    What is certain is that in the last 100 pages, the book changes and takes your breath away. Expected and unexpected events start to unfold at a fast pace, making you not want to put the book down, while the ending makes you want to immediately grab the next one, so roll up your sleeves and get ready to travel to a new fantasy world.
    Buckle up and let's go!!!!!!

    The series consists of two books in total. It has been completed in English. In Greek, only the first of the series has been translated, and we hope the second one will be soon as well.

    Enjoy!

    The best enemies to lovers to enemies of 2025

    This is a witch, this is a witch hunter…!? Rune, after a tragedy, her life takes an incredible turn in the New Republic and she is forced to hide her identity as a witch. In the morning, she is an aristocrat who goes to balls and chats with friends, while at night she is the notorious Purple Butterfly who saves witches from death.

    Gideon, the wicked witch hunter who has made it his life’s goal to ensure that witches never rise to power again and to rid the New Republic of them once and for all. His goal is to find and condemn the Purple Butterfly.
    But what happens when the clock turns and love and passion cannot overcome the true purpose?

    A wonderful five-star read that kept me breathless throughout, and I felt that with every chapter there was a plot twist! I definitely didn’t expect any ending, and of course, I have already started the second one in English because I can’t wait to find out what happened. Incredible chemistry, deep love story, wonderful found family, and I shed a tear at the end ? Read it YESTERDAY!

Description & Specifications

ENEMIES BECOME LOVERS WHEN A WITCH AND A WITCH HUNTER FALL IN LOVE…

On the night Rune's life changed forever, blood flowed through the streets. Now, after a disastrous revolution, the once-powerful witches are persecuted for their magic, and Rune must hide what she is.


While by day she plays the role of a young, boring socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Butterfly, saving other witches from the purge. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to deceive the witch hunters and obtain the desperately needed information by flirting with the handsome captain of the Blood Guard. Gideon Sharp is a notorious and ruthless witch hunter, loyal to the revolution, and, too late, Rune realizes she has started to fall in love with him.


Gideon hates the luxury and shallowness that Rune represents, but when he learns that the Crimson Butterfly is using Rune's merchant ships to smuggle witches out of the New Republic, he infiltrates her social circles under the pretense of courting her. He soon realizes that beneath the beauty and facade of the socialite lies a brilliant and tender woman who seems to be the perfect match for him. But what if she is the witch he's hunting?
