Hanleigh loves books more than nearly anything in the world; whether its reading them or writing them, Hanleigh just can't get enough. She's read more books than she can count and owns more books than some libraries.

Trust was a liberty that as Kumari, Bae could not afford, especially after the murder of Bae’s mother, the late Kumari.

The Kumari bloodline had to continue regardless of the cost, even if it was the life of someone she loved.

There were only two things that a Kumari should trust; magic and her seven mates.

The race was on for Bae to find and claim her seven mates before she had to defend her realm from an unknown enemy.

With them, she still might not win, but alone she would definitely fail.

Kumari's Kitsune

Standing by the window of his chambers, Hisoka watched Adelaide and Talas as they walked through the grounds. It had been easy to imagine killing the child when he was just an imaginary person that he had yet to meet. But now, seeing the future Reigning Prince his mind was less resolute.


It wasn't that he didn't plan to follow through with his plan. He had every intention of killing Talas. It was just harder to do than he'd expected it to be. Adelaide and the young boy were close and that complicated matters. Hisoka couldn't separate the two in his mind.


Adelaide complicated everything. She always had. It wasn't that he cared about her. He refused to accept that was even a possibility.


He wasn't sure why she had any influence upon him at all. She should be irrelevant. She was just the key to getting into the castle and now inside, her purpose had been served.
