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 Witch Hunter

A Kirkus 2018 Best Book of the Year! Shakespeare in Love meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith in this witty and thrilling story of star-crossed assassins in Elizabeth England, perfect for fans of My Lady Jane and The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue! When Lady Katherine's father is killed for being an illegally practicing Catholic, she discovers treason wasn't the only secret he's been hiding: he was also involved in a murder plot against the reigning Queen Elizabeth I. With nothing left to lose, Katherine disguises herself as a boy and travels to London to fulfill her father's mission, and to take it one step further -- kill the queen herself. Katherine's opportunity comes in the form of William Shakespeare's newest play, which is to be performed in front of Her Majesty. But what she doesn't know is that the play is not just a play. It's a plot to root out insurrectionists and destroy the rebellion once and for all. The mastermind behind this ruse is Toby Ellis, a young spy for the queen with secrets of his own. When Toby and Katherine are cast opposite each other as the play's leads, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another. But the closer they grow, the more precarious their positions become. And soon they learn that star-crossed love, mistaken identity, and betrayal are far more dangerous off the stage than on.

L'assassin du roi

Asesina de reyes

Na Inglaterra do século XVII, praticar a fé católica era um pecado mortal. E, por essa razão, Sir Richard Arundell foi considerado traidor e assassinado a mando da rainha Elizabeth I. Por isso, Lady Katherine ‒ a filha do acusado ‒ precisou fugir da Cornualha. Sem família e com os bens confiscados, ela foi para Londres à procura dos antigos aliados de seu pai... e de vingança. Assim, a jovem se vê envolvida em um plano para assassinar a rainha. Mas, para que a artimanha funcione, Katherine precisa virar Kit Alban e fazer com que todos acreditem que ela é um garoto. E, o mais importante, deverá entrar para o elenco da peça Noite de reis. Dirigida pelo famoso William Shakespeare, a peça estreará exclusivamente para Sua Majestade, a rainha. O que Kit não sabe é que a montagem não passa de uma armadilha articulada por Toby Ellis, um jovem e astuto espião que trabalha para a Coroa, com a intenção de prender conspiradores. Kit e Toby irão dividir não apenas o palco, mas também uma atração inexplicável um pelo outro. No entanto, essa relação poderá pôr em risco seus disfarces. Quando os verdadeiros papéis que interpretam forem revelados, eles saberão manter-se fiéis aos próprios planos ou o amor falará mais alto? "Uma emocionante e imersiva travessura na Londres de Shakespeare com todas as intrigas, alianças e politicagem que a moldaram. Devorei esse livro com uma alegria voraz. Bravo!" ‒ Mackenzi Lee, autora do best-seller O guia do cavalheiro para o vício e a virtude "Um pedaço delicioso da História. Os conflitos religiosos, de sexualidade, de classe e identidade de gênero são pertinentes aos tempos contemporâneos. Victor ou Vitória? e Shakespeare apaixonado, conheçam a sua mais nova irmã. Ou irmão." ‒ KIRKUS REVIEWS (resenha estrelada)

King Slayer King Slayer

No mesmo estilo de Guerra dos Tronos, A caçadora de bruxos reconstrói uma Inglaterra medieval mítica, com magia e muita intriga política. Na Ânglia do século XVI, a prática da magia é ilegal, e infratores são queimados nas fogueiras. Elizabeth Grey é uma das melhores caçadoras de bruxos do rei: ela localiza e captura Reformistas, rebeldes suspeitos de praticar feitiçaria para que sejam julgados e executados, conforme manda a lei. Até que, inexplicavelmente, ela é incriminada e acaba presa sob a acusação de praticar a arte que se dedicou a erradicar. A salvação, no entanto, acaba vindo na forma de seu maior inimigo: Nicholas Perevil, o mago mais poderoso e procurado de Ânglia. À medida que Elizabeth se associa aos Reformistas, suas crenças sobre a legitimidade da proibição da magia são profundamente abaladas. Ela se vê em meio a uma contenda política de proporções épicas e percebe que seus antigos aliados agora são seus inimigos mortais. Será que Elizabeth está pronta para decidir de qual lado está sua lealdade, afinal de contas?
