Foxtale

A boy in a cage. A fox who wants to be left alone. A world that poisoned itself with magic and never healed.

Cael has been bought and sold by hands unknown—until he runs, and stumbles into Kymera, a drowned ruin where the water glows and the plants remember and the magic in his blood will kill him if no one teaches him to hold it. Eldinor will. Reluctantly. He's spent a long time alone in this swamp, guarding a secret with wards and silence, and the last thing he needs is a child who won't stop following him.

But the people who owned Cael want him back, and what they'll do to get him will cost far more than either of them can pay.

FoxTale is a story about found family in a broken world, about trust that runs out, mentors who lie to protect you, and the slow, stubborn work of building a home out of ruins. Cozy by the hearth, cold in the dark below.
