Foxxfire Unbound

Foxxfire Unbound

Ember died beneath a pair of headlights.

She woke in silk sheets with poison in her veins, fox ears on her head, a tail beneath the blankets—and a marriage waiting for her.

Lady Ember Foxx is everything her new family needs her to be: beautiful, noble, obedient, and politically valuable. Her future has already been decided. She will marry the man chosen for her, strengthen House Foxx, and smile while doing it.

Someone has even tried to poison her before the wedding.

Unfortunately for them, this Ember remembers another life.

She remembers crowded classrooms, unpaid bills, unfinished lesson plans, and exactly how it feels to spend years living according to other people’s expectations. She has no intention of wasting a second life doing the same.

Armed with borrowed memories, unreliable Foxfire, a suspiciously intelligent storage satchel, and far more determination than practical survival skills, Ember runs.

Freedom, however, is not waiting politely outside the estate gates.

The wider world is filled with beastkin kingdoms, dangerous magic, ancient dungeons, ambitious nobles, hungry monsters, forgotten powers, and people who have learned to survive without silk sheets or family names. To build a life that truly belongs to her, Ember will have to learn more than magic.

She will have to discover who she is when no one else is allowed to decide.

House Foxx expects its daughter to return.

The world expects her to know her place.

Ember intends to disappoint them both.
