The Shadow of the fox

Owlcrate i oktober innehöll bland annat boken Shadow of the fox. Jag har inte läst något av Julie Kagawa innan, men efter detta kommer jag kolla upp henne mer.

Det är en bok som utspelar sig i japan för länge sedan, men samuraier, kitsune-tsuki, spöken och demoner. Jag gillar mytologin och själva berättelsen med personerna som tillsammans ger sig ut i världen. När jag inte hade med mig boken så lyssnade jag på ljudboken, där var det tre uppläsare som läste från olika personers perspektiv. Bra!

Nu vill jag ha nästa bok i serien! Den ska komma nästa år och jag kommer garanterat att läsa den, vill veta hur det kommer att gå för alla!

"One thousand years ago, the great Kami Dragon was summoned to grant a single terrible wish—and the land of Iwagoto was plunged into an age of darkness and chaos.

Now, for whoever holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers, a new wish will be granted. A new age is about to dawn.

Raised by monks in the isolated Silent Winds temple, Yumeko has trained all her life to hide her yokai nature. Half kitsune, half human, her skill with illusion is matched only by her penchant for mischief. Until the day her home is burned to the ground, her adoptive family is brutally slain and she is forced to flee for her life with the temple’s greatest treasure—one part of the ancient scroll.

There are many who would claim the dragon’s wish for their own. Kage Tatsumi, a mysterious samurai of the Shadow Clan, is one such hunter, under orders to retrieve the scroll…at any cost. Fate brings Kage and Yumeko together. With a promise to lead him to the scroll, an uneasy alliance is formed, offering Yumeko her best hope for survival. But he seeks what she has hidden away, and her deception could ultimately tear them both apart.

With an army of demons at her heels and the unlikeliest of allies at her side, Yumeko’s secrets are more than a matter of life or death. They are the key to the fate of the world itself."
