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

The castle was silent, its inhabitants asleep as he crept through the deserted corridors. He needed to be more careful. After the other night, they would no doubt be expecting another attack. That is, unless they suspected Hisoka.


Ji always said that Hisoka was too weak, too kind, Prince Oliver thought to himself arrogantly.


They hadn't for one moment believed he'd follow through with the order to kill the heir. That's why Oliver had been sent after them.


Hisoka had had countless opportunities to strike and each time he'd let it slip through his fingers. Oliver had seen it all, watching from a distance. He'd infiltrated the castle almost as soon as Hisoka and the Chief Advisor arrived in Shiro.


He was surprised he'd stayed hidden for as long as he had. The last few days, he'd had to remove himself to the Forest of Elivade, convinced that the protectors would be searching the castle and its grounds for the attacker.
