Foxfire

The shed was supposed to be Caleb's safe space.
A place to work with his hands. Escape the noise.
And definitely not be the center of an ongoing war with a white fox.

But then the fox turned into a girl.

Julie Xun has been running her whole life-from expectations, from her powerful family, and from the truth of what she is: a hulijing, a nine-tailed fox spirit hiding in plain sight. When Caleb actions impact her by mistake, their fates tangle in ways neither of them could predict.

Now, they're stuck with each other.
She's hiding. He's hunting for answers.
And both are about to learn that freedom-real freedom-comes with a price.

As authorities close in, tails are earned, lies are told, and something real begins to form between a boy who doesn't believe in magic and a girl made of it. But Julie's time is running out, and Caleb will have to decide what kind of person he wants to be: the kind who chases monsters... or the kind who sees the human inside.

A sharp, emotional YA folk fantasy about grief, identity, trickery, and choosing who you want to be-before someone else decides for you.
