To become human, a fox demon paid a thousand souls. To become herself again, she'll have to trust the one person trained to kill her.
Nari is a fox demon - clever, feral, and certain of exactly what she is. Until a raid gone wrong leaves her absorbing a thousand stray souls and waking in the one shape she was never meant to wear: human. Trapped on two legs, cut off from her Den, she has only one way home - reach the distant imperial city of Sanoul, return the souls to the Heavenly Fox, and reclaim her true form.
The problem? She can't survive the human world alone. She can barely walk in it. And the only guide she's got is Tetsu - a fox trapper who hunts her kind for a living, and who has no idea the strange, chaotic girl trailing after him is the very thing he's sworn to kill.
So Nari does the unthinkable: she joins the trappers. She learns to wear clothes, eat their food, and bury every fox instinct before it gives her away. And as she and Tetsu travel deeper into a kingdom where humans and demons tear each other apart, the line between predator and prey starts to blur - into something that terrifies her far more than any trap.
Because Nari is keeping a secret. So is Tetsu. And the dark powers pulling them both toward Sanoul have plans neither of them could imagine.
Tale of the Fox is a Korean-inspired YA fantasy of gumiho, gods, and forbidden feelings - perfect for readers who love fox-spirit mythology, enemies-to-something-more, and a fierce heroine learning what it means to be human.
