Book One: The contract of Foxhollow The Kingdom of Bastira will forever remember the explosion at the northern border. More than the physical damage, the loss of King Roderick's demon general weakened the country as a whole. In the woods outside the small village of Foxhollow, two brothers, Aaron and Micah, have no time to worry about kings or borders. Orphaned and hungry, they're just trying to survive when a bear fatally wounds Aaron. When Aaron spots a pathetic little fox demon, he does the only thing he can think of to protect his younger brother: he makes a contract. He trades his soul to give Micah a chance. Bound by that contract to protect Micah, Kit the fox demon brings untold trouble to the rural community. Micah knows only that the demon devoured his brother-will he ever forgive Kit for what they did? As rumors of a rising threat in the east reach even quiet Foxhollow, and the king begins his own desperate search, Micah and Kit's fragile truce may be all that stands between the village and the coming storm.
