In this first book of her Japanese mythology-inspired Shadow of the
Fox trilogy, bestselling author Julie Kagawa weaves a stunning,
high-stakes tale of alliances and deceptions, characters who aren't what
they seem, and secrets that could change the fate of the world.
Every millennium, whoever holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers has the
power to call the great Kami Dragon from the sea and ask for one wish.
The time is near...and the missing pieces of the scroll will be sought
throughout the land of Iwagoto.
When demons kill half-kitsune Yumeko's adoptive family, she's forced to
flee her home with one part of the ancient scroll. Fate thrusts her into
the path of mysterious samurai Kage Tatsumi, who is Yumeko's best hope
for survival. But he's under orders to retrieve the scroll. An uneasy
alliance forms, and Yumeko begins the deception of a lifetime, knowing
her secrets are more than a matter of life or death--they're the key to
the fate of the world.
