The magic and suspense of Graceling meet the political intrigue and unrest of Game of Thrones in this riveting fantasy debut. Your greatest enemy isn't what you fight, but what you fear. Elizabeth Grey is one of the king's best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out witchcraft and doling out justice. But when she's accused of being a witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to burn at the stake. Salvation comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most powerful and dangerous wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will save her from execution if she can break the deadly curse that's been laid upon him. But Nicholas and his followers know nothing of Elizabeth's witch hunting past--if they find out, the stake will be the least of her worries. And as she's thrust into the magical world of witches, ghosts, pirates, and one all-too-handsome healer, Elizabeth is forced to redefine her ideas of right and wrong, of friends and enemies, and of love and hate. Virginia Boecker weaves a riveting tale of magic, betrayal, and sacrifice in this unforgettable fantasy debut.

The land of Caldon is in the iron grip of the Witch Hunters, who mercilessly persecute Dark Folk, unlicensed magicians and freethinkers. Only a few dare to oppose them. One of those few is Kenzie, whose activities on behalf of the Resistance become a lot more complicated when her best friend, of all people, joins the Witch Hunters. With a lot of black humour, The Fall of the Witch Hunters pokes fun at common fantasy tropes and turns them on their heads, while also holding up a mirror to our own world.
