A NEW PATH FORWARD

In the years following Kuro and Jaden’s final encounter, a new story unfolds.

A broken man must learn to heal, and in the process, discover if he is worthy of forgiveness, let alone deserving of mercy.

Pulled from his misery by new and familiar friends, Adam faces his greatest task yet: discovering if he is still capable of goodness. The seraphs are called to serve and sacrifice, but the nine-tailed kitsune is no angel, and the goddess Ana has promised him that despite all his good intentions, he will someday make a terrible mistake.

And somehow, he must undo it.

A vibrant new cast of kitsune and Kekoa siblings will usher the living god to his fate (and two meddlesome but well-meaning angels might just make everything worse). Nogitsune will seek their second tails, angels will take wing through the Dark, bargains will be struck, and debts will be called…

…And one lost and locked secret may hold the key to the desire in all their hearts: a happy ending at last
