The Legend Of Zen-Ko: Nine Tails — A YA Urban Fantasy

"The novel's warmth, clarity, and sense of earned belonging make it an engaging opening to a larger saga." —IndieReader, She thought she was ordinary. Turns out she's the fastest-claiming kitsune in three thousand years. Sixteen-year-old Kora Hayashi's biggest worry was surviving junior year—until a four-tailed fox named Zen-Ko crashes through her bedroom window and announces she's a kitsune, a supernatural fox spirit with a destiny she never asked for. Now Kora must master dangerous claiming trials to earn her nine tails, each one unlocking power she barely understands. But the supernatural world isn't just about magic. It's about ancient politics, broken alliances, and Jax Calloway—the frustratingly attractive new student who happens to be a werewolf from the local Calloway pack. As Kora races through her trials at a speed that's never been seen before, a dark force awakens. A corrupted nogitsune is disrupting the spiritual convergence that holds everything together, and the fault line is spreading.
