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

"Bae!" Maindor?d? exclaimed as the Kumari climbed down from the carriage to greet her aunt.


The Dixian elder wrapped an arm around Bae's shoulder and led her through the door and down the stairs into the city beneath.


"We have much to discuss, Kumari," Maindor?d? said in a hushed tone.

"There's been word from Laoshi," she said, the exuberant expression on her face not matching her tone. "Rumours among the Ren. They say the Laoshian Ren are in revolt and my sister, Ji is killing all those who do not renounce their allegiance to the Kumari."


"Keep walking, dear. Don't let them see," Princess Maindor?d? said softly.


"She tried to have Talas assassinated."
