Foxfire - Hardcover

by Karen Kincy (Author)

My own magic might kill me.

One winter long ago, I watched my mother-a kitsune, or Japanese fox-spirit-leave me in the snow for the dogs.

But that's a memory buried beneath eleven years, and I've lived in America since then. I have my family, who adopted me, and my girlfriend, Gwen.

Now I'm back in Japan. My grandparents invited us to spend New Year's with them in Tokyo. I pretend to be happy for Gwen, but I can't shake the nightmares.

A faceless ghost haunts me, warning me that she is coming.

A gang of dog-spirits wants me dead. I'm the spitting image of their enemy, a kitsune named Yukimi.

Is Yukimi my birth mother who abandoned me? I never knew her true name, the key to a kitsune's magic. I don't even know my own true name.

And soon my magic threatens to kill me, tearing apart my half-human body.

I need to find the truth before it's too late.
