The Nine

by Tate James

2018

Thea Hunt is a kitsune assassin with too many enemies and too many dangerous men in her orbit. When a curse starts stripping shifters of their powers, her hunt turns personal fast.

Series background & context

Foxfire Burning opens with a strong urban fantasy hook, a heroine who already knows how to survive, and a supernatural world that is breaking in dangerous ways. The first book, The Nine, introduces Thea Hunt, a kitsune, or fox shifter, who works as a professional assassin and has more enemies than breathing room.

That alone would be enough trouble.

But the bigger problem is the curse moving through the shifter world. Someone is targeting old magic and leaving supernatural creatures trapped in forms that can destroy them from the inside out. That turns Thea's life from already-dangerous to genuinely unstable, especially because the men around her are not safe either. Some want her, some want to use her, and some might be both.

The mood here is dark, sexy, and fast. You have assassins' guilds, shifter politics, old gods, exes, alpha wolves, vampires, and the constant sense that Thea is one bad choice away from disaster. She is not written as a clueless entry-point heroine. She already has skills, history, and baggage, which gives the series a sharper, more lived-in feel from the start.

Foxfire Burning also feels like the beginning of something big. Even with only the first book on the page, the setup clearly points toward a broader arc about corrupted magic, supernatural power struggles, and the personal cost of surviving in a world full of monsters who know exactly what you are worth.

If you like urban fantasy that moves more like a romance-thriller than a slow magical quest, this series should work for you. It has the pack of dangerous love interests, but it also has a heroine with claws, a mystery that matters, and enough worldbuilding to keep the stakes feeling larger than bedroom drama.
