In The Heartless Hunter (Ukrainian: Безсердечний мисливець), Kristen Ciccarelli tells a gripping story of revolution, magic, identity, and love. Translated into Ukrainian by Tetiana Yaremchuk and published by ArtBooks in 2025, this 448‑page hardback (approx. 140×210 mm) presents a world irrevocably changed after a devastating revolution. Witches, once held in power and worship, are now outcasts, hunted for their magic.
Runa, the protagonist, lives a double life. By day, she plays the part of a frivolous young socialite; by night, she becomes the Crimson Moth, a witch‑avenger trying to protect her kind from execution. When one rescue mission fails, she formulates a risky plan: seduce Gideon Sharpe — a ruthless witch hunter loyal to the new regime — to gain access to the information she needs. But as the deception deepens and what was meant to be a calculated performance turns into something more, the lines between love and hate, truth and pretense, begin to blur.
Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, romance, and morally complex characters, The Heartless Hunter combines lush world‑building with political tension, emotional stakes, and witchcraft lore. This edition is both a powerful addition to any fantasy collection and a standout new voice among Ukrainian‑translated fantasy.
