In this fantastical second series installment by New York Times best-selling author Julie Kagawa, a wish was made and a sword of rage and lightning was forged, one thousand years ago. Kamigoroshi. The Godslayer. A weapon powerful enough to seal away the formidable demon Hakaimono.

Now he has broken free.


Kitsune shapeshifter Yumeko has one task: take her piece of the ancient and powerful Scroll of a Thousand Prayers to the Steel Feather temple in order to prevent the summoning of the great Kami Dragon, who will grant one wish to whomever holds the scroll. But she has a new enemy now, more dangerous than any she has yet faced. The demon Hakaimono is free at last, and he has possessed the very person Yumeko trusted to protect her—Kage Tatsumi of the Shadow Clan.

Hakaimono has one goal: break the curse of the sword and set himself free to rain chaos and destruction over the land forevermore. To do so, he will need the scroll. And Yumeko is the only one standing in his way.

This is a very nice follow-up to the first book. If the first book felt like The Fellowship of the Ring where the team of heroes were being assembled, this one dove straight into the action what with the number one demon Hakaimono unleashed.

Nice to see the Kitsune learning to control her power but still remaining grounded and loyal to her friends.

Onward to the concluding novel!

Great Sequel!

Julie Kagawa has done it again. I was not disappointed with the second book of the Shadow of the Fox tale. It reads like an anime and I just love that. The narrators were awesome. The characters were great. The story was amazing. The ending, OMG I need the next book now. Can't believe it's almost over.

Need next book now

This book is a sequel and it reads like a sequel. It's still a good story but it lags in the middle. The next one should be better.

Not as good as the 1st book.

Just as Good as the First
