Billions of Blood Kisses: Escaping the Fox Spirit…

My name is Rosalind Vane, a fox immortal who has lived for centuries. One rainy night, I found a blood-soaked man named Everett Sterling. I saved him, gave him everything I had—only to be repaid with a bullet through the spine. He tore off the disguise of a down-and-out scholar and revealed the true face of a tyrant from the underworld—paving walls with banknotes, using human lives to season his wine. Now he stands sneering at me on a gunpowder-choked highway, while I lick my wounds and finally resolve to reclaim that cheaply given love. The intent to kill quietly spreads among my nine tails.
