Moriaki watches as all of his brothers find their mates, and he enjoys seeing them happy, despite the pain he hides from all of them, even Inari. His own mate is lost to him forever, and he has no one to blame but himself. Moriaki always told himself Ben was better off without him, especially after the way things ended twenty years ago. When a twisted plan throws them back together, both men find pain and regret, along with a love that rekindles far faster than they could ever have imagined. Nothing about their reunion is easy, and all the while they’re being stalked by a wicked beast who seeks to destroy them and everything they hold dear. Nine Tails chronicles how the nine Kitamura brothers (powerful kitsune serving Inari) find love as they watch over the Ibuki family. The series is best read in order. Each volume builds upon the mythology of the fox spirits and reveals more about the two families the series follows.
