A cat and mouse game between a secret witch (Rune) and a witch hunter (Gideon). Both have their reasons for what they do. Rune because the city purges (k*lls) witches and Gideon because witches took the lives of his parents and sister.
This is a slow burn romance and the two MCs constantly try to one up each other in this game they play. I didn't much like the small love triangle though I could forgive as one of the three had NO IDEA the real feelings of another.
In the acknowledgements, the author says this book is loosely based on The Scarlet Pimpernel and looking back, I can see the inspirations throughout and I love it!
I can't wait for the conclusion, there is more subterfuge to surely behold.
