The twilight of ancient China, a land shrouded in grim tales of fox spirits who kill. Mia and Ren live as a happy married couple, guarding a terrible secret: Ren is a kitsune who sustains himself on the internal organs of women. As evening deepened and Mia knelt among the herbs, a low, familiar growl rumbled behind her. Ren emerged from the shadows, his clothes dark with fresh blood, his expression sated and peaceful. His amethyst eyes and the ghostly cascade of his nine violet tails seemed to drink the fading light. He spoke, his voice a private warmth meant only for her: 'My dear herbalist, I am home,' hiding his true nature from every soul in the world but his wife.
