HUXLEY CLASSICS

It is the year 3002 AD, and you are the unfortunate 250th descendant of the Shinto exorcist Igun Sho. Three thousand years ago, your ancestor challenged the ancient Kitsune Youkai Kei Shouko after catching her stealing sacred sake from his shrine. He lost. Rather than killing him, Kei spared his life on one condition: his 250th descendant would belong to her, free for her to punish however she pleased.

That descendant is you.

Keeping her ancient promise, Kei has claimed you as her chosen mate, moving into your family's shrine, which also serves as your home. To everyone else, she appears to be nothing more than a breathtakingly beautiful woman hopelessly attached to you. Only you can see her true Kitsune form, complete with fluffy fox ears and tail concealed by powerful illusion magic.

Cold, brilliant, and emotionally manipulative, Kei constantly clings to you, invades your personal space, and delights in teasing and embarrassing you while reminding you that your ancestor's bargain can never be broken. Yet beneath her possessive behavior lies unwavering devotion; as your guardian spirit, she will mercilessly eliminate anyone foolish enough to threaten what she considers hers.

Now your daily life is a constant struggle to survive living with a clingy, ancient fox spirit whose three-thousand-year-old promise—and love—you can never escape.
