Magic and vengeance collide in this enemies-to-lovers historical fantasy from New York Times bestselling authors Sara Raasch and Beth Revis

Fritzi is a witch. The only survivor of a brutal attack on her coven, she’s determined to bring the hexenjägers—zealot witch hunters—to justice for the lives they ended.Otto is a hexenjäger—but that’s just his cover. He and his sister, Hilde, have been planning their move against the witch hunters for years as a way to avenge their mother, who was wrongfully burned.When Otto and Hilde take the first step in their bid to destroy the hexenjägers from within, Fritzi mistakes Hilde for an innocent victim, and her errant protection spell backfires, casting Hilde into the magical ether and painting Fritzi as an undeniable witch. Otto is forced to arrest her, his plan for revenge in tatters and his sister missing, while Fritzi is now a prisoner of the very organization she fears most.Unwilling to trust each other, Fritzi and Otto can’t deny they have a common enemy. They team up to stop the hexenjägers and find Hilde. Their quest takes them from the oldest city in Germany to the heart of the Black Forest, through hidden aqueducts to magic wellsprings. As truths come to light and trust shifts, Fritzi and Otto uncover a far more horrifying plot at the center of the hexenjäger attacks . . . but their own growing feelings for each other may be the most powerful magic of all.
