Takara and the Lord of Winter

Takara: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Win the Winter Lord, or die trying. Honestly, she's aiming for a third option.

Takara survived seven centuries as a kitsune by keeping her mind sharp and her expectations low. Then the Lord of Winter kidnapped her, stripped away her tails, and dropped her into a bridal competition where losing could very well mean death.

Now she’s navigating poisoned soup, catty yōkai rivals, and a captor who seems to delight in her suffering. If Takara doesn't outsmart the winter court, she dies. If she wins, she's chained to a monster. Either way, someone is getting a knife between their ribs, and it won't be her.
