The Fox and The Flower (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798993410678)

Forbidden to be together, unable to resist ... Will destiny keep them together, or will fate tear them apart?

I was nothing more to her than a curiosity.

She's my everything.

A healer on a quest in a foreign land to find a new medicinal herb, elevating her in her family's eyes ... A warrior soul-bonded to a magical fox, marking him as a grim omen to his people...

Two worlds, two souls...

Rei Yunhsi was never considered talented or beautiful-but she was always determined.

Despite her parents' objections, Rei was certain that her fate lay in the neighboring country

of Paruskia, where she could not only continue her pursuit of her refined plant magic, but

seek and find a medicinal herb that would lead her to become a legendary healer. Upon her

arrival in Paruskia, however, fate had other plans.

Trained warrior Ilvor Raev had always been viewed as a bad omen by his fellow

Paruskians, whose ancient magical powers lay in their bonds with animal soul

companions. Ilvor's companion, a fox, meant he had been marked by the God of Death to

become a Grimr. Though Ilvor doesn't believe this, the superstitious Paruskians viewed

him with suspicion.

When Rei and Ilvor meet, each begins to challenge the assumptions they have endured all

their lives, hoping for a peaceful life together. However, peace was never an option as long

as the demonic Jyagas continued their war with the Paruskians. As Rei and Ilvor battle

prejudice and endure vicious attacks from evil forces, the healer and the warrior come

face to face with their own fates-and must battle for their love as well as their lives.
