this

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.

"An
explosive
cocktail
of
high-stakes
adventure...
The
first-person,
present-tense
narration
is
rendered
masterfully;
coupled
with
the
cinematic
vividness
of
the
descriptions,
the
whole
makes
for
a
page-turning
delight."
"Debut
author
Boecker's
first-person,
present
tense
narrative
creates
a
suspenseful
mood
by
allowing
readers
to
see
Elizabeth's
secrets,
doubts,
and
fears...The
book
has
plenty
of
action-sword
fights,
battles
with
monsters,
black
magic,
and
betrayal-but
there
is
also
camaraderie
and
romance...Fans
of
Kristin
Cashore'sGraceling(Houghton

will
see
similarities
in
this
story
of
a
girl
with
deadly

be
a

most
YA
fantasy
collections."
—SLJ"In her debut novel (a sequel is planned), Boecker has created an alternate sixteenth-century world whose characters are as intriguing as the magical world they inhabit...Woven within the complex fantasy is a new understanding of friendship and a tenuous but sweet Romeo and Juliet-like love story that promises to blossom, along with the witchcraft, mystery, and bloodletting."—Booklist
"Elizabeth is a compelling heroine, surrounded by strong supporting characters. Particularly compelling is Elizabeth's uneasy alliance with Fifer as they race to find answers, uncovering dark secrets along the way...First-time novelist Boecker delivers a promising debut. This reviewer is hoping Elizabeth's future adventures prove equally engaging."—VOYA
"The world-building here is comprehensive but concise...Thrilling action scenes combine with a twisting plot to spur readers forward. Perhaps most compelling, however, is Elizabeth's character arc, which moves her from a girl so beholden to the men in her life that she hands her body over both physically and sexually, to an autonomous young adult making decisions for herself....It will satisfy fans of warrior girls who realize their own power."—The Bulletin
"Those who like their stories fast-paced will enjoy this mashup of historical and fantasy. Ghouls, ghosts, magic, and supernatural creatures all appear, lending humor and creepiness in equal measure."—School Library Connection
"[Filled] with everything a good fantasy book needs: swords, poison, black magic, and betrayal. Elizabeth Grey is a tough, feisty protagonist whose fearless heart takes more twists and turns than the narrow city alleys in which the story opens. A fun, corpse-ridden, blood-drenched debut."—April Tucholke, author of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
"Sassy and smart, this page-turning fantasy is full of action, wit, and magic. I ate it up in one sitting and demand more...now!"—Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of Across the Universe and The Body Electric
"Crisp writing, a fast pace with bloody action, and the all-important monster rats make this story of a bold but more-vulnerable-than-she-realizes witch hunter a strong fantasy debut."—Kate Elliott, author of Cold Magic and Court of Fives
"Elizabeth is an endearingly flawed heroine, and the other characters are just as nuanced and delightful. With an immersive world and fast-paced, addictive plot,The Witch Hunteris perfect for those looking for their next fantastical adventure."—Emily Lloyd-Jones, author of Illusive
