"Some creatures survive history. Others become it."
For over two thousand years, Lu Wuyi has walked the world beneath borrowed names, leaving behind kingdoms, wars, and legends that eventually became myths. A celestial nine-tailed fox, older than empires and wiser than gods, she has learned that love is always followed by loss.
So she stopped staying.
But New Orleans refuses to let anyone remain a stranger.
Drawn toward a city simmering with vampire politics, ancient magic, and a prophecy surrounding an unborn child, Wuyi quietly slips into the lives of the Mikaelsons-the family she has watched from the shadows for centuries. To Klaus she is an impossible mystery. To Elijah, an old soul carrying memories even he has forgotten. To Rebekah, a long-lost friend. To Hayley, an unexpected protector.
As witches wage war, wolves fight for freedom, and old enemies awaken, Wuyi finds herself doing the one thing she swore she never would again-
Choosing a family.
And perhaps,
Choosing love.
Because even immortal fox spirits aren't immune to moonlight.
