Summary
Tamamo grew up in the imperial court, where the space
between words mattered more than the words themselves, where
battles were fought with poetry. As the favored of the
Emperor Junnin, Tamamo knew well how poetry could cut. As the
adopted daughter of a once-great noble family, she had no
business loving the emperor, nor should he had loved her.
After all, that was for the prominent Fujiwara family to
decide. It didn't help that she also had a secret: She was a
fox. Outside the capital, poetry had been exchanged for
sharpened steel. Determined to return to power, the former
empress and her family gathered their forces. Caught between
the reality of war and the intrigues of the court, Tamamo and
Emperor Junnin plan a life together and a way to unify the
country without the need for blood.However, Tamamo's adoptive
father has other plans. Plans that involve the true nature of
Tamamo's secret, plans that shatter Tamamo's heart. Forced to join with the former empress to find answers,
Tamamo must learn what it means to be a fox. The answers will
change not only her destiny but also the future of the three
great families.
