Hiro didn’t think anything could amaze him more than his brother’s revelation that their family’s prosperity comes from the favor of the kami Inari. Yet Hiro soon learns that Inari’s kitsune, fox spirits who act as messengers, watch over his family in exchange for yearly tribute—and this year, Hiro has been requested as an offering by one of the mysterious fox spirits.

This is a MM romance and it’s so beautifully done. I love the fantasy of it and mythology imbued in it. I’ll be reading more from this author for sure.
A very enjoyable story based on Japanese mythology. I was initially hesitant given that one of the main characters is being stalked supernaturally and is then handed over as tribute by his brother, but it all came together in the end. Looking forward the rest of the series, which should be nine books based on the number of kitsune, i.e. fox spirits.
