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.
Praise for Foxfire:
"The kitsune legend has never looked so good. Tavian is one sexy fox." - Julie Kagawa, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron King and Shadow of the Fox.
"An enjoyable, mystical coming-of-age, complete with quick getaways, motorcycle chases and no distraction from the already-established, comfortable romance." - Kirkus Reviews
