“A thrilling and romantic fantasy adventure...Exquisite!”
Description
From the author of The Last Dragon of the East comes a sweeping fantasy adventure with a dash of romance between a nine-tailed fox and the demon-hunter who captures her, banished to the underworld together and forced to form a reluctant alliance in order to escape the circles of Hell.
Yue may be the last of her kind. At night, she stalks the streets of the capital city of Longhao, luring in unsuspecting victims with the mask of a beautiful woman, then consuming them in her true form of the nine-tailed fox.
When she is captured by a powerful demon hunter named Sonam and banished to Hell, she manages one final act of revenge: dragging him—and two of his subordinates—down with her.
Now trapped in an abyss with unimaginable terrors, they’ll need each other’s help to navigate Hell and bypass the gods who preside over each circle, each of whom presents the group with a unique and deadly challenge. Forced to depend on one another as they claw their way out of the underworld, both demon and demon hunter discover that there might be more to the other than meets the eye.
Reviews
"A fast-paced and thoroughly satisfying meal of a book! Come for the joyful nods to folktales, stay for the grumpy misfits taking bites out of each other. Ferocious and heartfelt."
"I absolutely loved The Legend of the Nine Tailed Fox. Kwan weaves mythology, romance, and razor-sharp emotion into a story that feels both timeless and distinctive. Her characters linger long after the final page—haunting, tender, and fiercely human, even in their magic."
“Witty, romantic, and brimming with folklore, this one is for the tough girls with soft hearts.”
