The Ghost-General's Winter Fox

She was a bride who could not see the monsters surrounding her, and he was a fallen god who had forgotten the warmth of the sun. Together, they are a marriage of frost and shadow. As a young blind woman, Chihiro Takahashi had learned to rely on her other senses. Being blind had caused her family such great shame, and they hid her away from the world.

Behind closed doors, they locked her inside. Her stepsister got all of the attention, as she was a "leftover" from her stepfather's former marriage. In the House of Takahashi, silence was the only thing Chihiro was allowed to own. Blind and branded a "defect" by her own blood, she was a ghost in her father's halls, locked away while her stepsister was groomed for the throne. She expected to die in the dark, a secret kept behind a rusted bolt.

Then came the Ghost-General.

Lord Kioyaka, the ghost general commander, didn't come for a bride of silk and porcelain. When he shatters the lock on her hidden powers and her heart. Chihiro doesn't see his scarred face or his terrifying black armour. She sees the "heat" of a man who is freezing to death from the inside out. He is the Empire's most feared monster, and she is the only light that can stop his shadows from consuming the world.

The lock is broken. The North is calling. And the girl who was never meant to be seen is about to become the only thing the Emperor fears.
