Virginia Boecker’s The Witch Hunter
Boecker’s novel is a young adult fantasy published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. Its protagonist is Elizabeth Grey, a royal witch hunter who is accused of witchcraft and sentenced to burn. She is offered a rescue by the wizard Nicholas Perevil, on the condition that she break his curse. The story places her among witches, ghosts, pirates, and a healer, and she has to reassess who her friends and enemies are. If your search is for a fantasy novel with a young heroine, this is the title that matches.
Max Seeck’s The Witch Hunter
Seeck’s novel is a crime thriller, not a fantasy. Penguin Random House lists it in paperback, ebook, and audiobook formats. Its detective is Jessica Niemi, a police officer in Helsinki, who investigates ritual murders linked to the books of a famous author. The publisher frames the book as a crime thriller with supernatural or occult elements, so readers who expect a monster or witch story should expect a police procedural with an occult layer.

#1 Best Overall
Witch Hunter: The Invisible World
The game is a role-playing game, not a video game. Its rulebook sample describes Witch Hunter as a swashbuckling horror RPG set on a version of 17th-century Earth. It names five core themes: horror, action, history, folklore, and faith. The current publisher listing from Studio 2 Publishing gives the same framing in its own words: “Witch Hunter: The Invisible World is a role-playing game of swashbuckling adventure and colonial horror set in a land much like our 17th Century.” The listing does not attribute that sentence to a named person.
Editions and availability
- Original core rules: catalogued by RPGnet as a 2007 hardcover from Paradigm Concepts, ISBN 978-1-931374-35-4. RPGnet also lists an alternate Earth setting in 1698. This is catalogue information, not the publisher’s own statement.
- Current listing: Studio 2 Publishing lists the core rulebook at $39.99. When checked for this article, the listing was marked backordered. Price and stock can change, so confirm them with the publisher or a retailer before ordering.
How to name the title correctly
- Use the author in any headline or citation: “The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker” or “The Witch Hunter by Max Seeck.”
- For the game, use the full name “Witch Hunter: The Invisible World,” not “Witch Hunter” alone.
- Check the ISBN or publisher before linking to a product, since the bare title matches all three works.
Where video games fit
None of the three works is documented as a video game in the sources available for this guide. The tabletop game is the only one with interactive play, and it is categorised as a role-playing game. If a video game under this title exists, it is not covered here.
