Synopsis
In a fight for survival, their love may be the most dangerous weapon of all. Whispers of the White Witch have spread through Solstyr like wildfire, and as Katya’s infamy grows so does the king’s fury. Signs calling for her arrest pepper the walls of every city, village and outpost, fueling the nation’s fear. Even the Ümbrian slaves she helped rescue now look at her with distrustful eyes. The once helpless academic is now a powerful magi and leader of a band of refugees, but Katya doesn’t feel powerful. She feels lost, as the weight of her guilt, grief over her family and the sting of Aemon’s betrayal slowly eat her alive. Aemon’s path is kill the king, no matter the cost. That changes when he stumbles upon news of Katya’s mother. Setting his quest for vengeance aside, Aemon seeks her out, hoping for redemption. Together, they’re forced on a deadly mission into the darkest depths of Ümbros, where the cocky shifter must regain Katya’s trust if they’re to stay alive and save the people they love. But forces from above and below conspire against them and enemies lie around every corner. Bent on seizing absolute power, the king will stop at nothing to eliminate the White Witch – even if it means tearing the kingdom apart. Hunt for the White Witch is the second book in the Kingdoms of Light and Shadow trilogy. It is a gritty, dark romantasy full of steamy romance, political intrigue, and nail-biting action. This series is perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas.
