Foxes are to remain unseen, unheard, and untraceable. To escape an arranged marriage, asthmatic seamstress Ariah Tyddle strikes a deal with the Queen of Haymel. In exchange for her freedom, she joins the Foxes— skilled individuals trained in espionage—and struggles to keep up in her new life. Proving her worth, Ariah is assigned to get close to a rival prince. As she gains his trust and secrets, she unexpectedly, gains his heart. But love for a Fox is forbidden, and when Ariah's feelings for the prince become requited, she toys with a dangerous fate. Meanwhile, Prince Iann, the youngest son of the Queen’s sworn enemy, arrives in Haymel with a secret. Iann is on a mission to end a feud and secure access to Farella Isle, where a mythical flower, said to grant immortality, lies hidden. But his growing feelings for Ariah threaten to derail everything. In a world where secrets bloom like poison and love is the deadliest risk, Ariah and Iann must choose between each other or everything else. Perfect for fans of LORE OF THE WILDS, REIGN , and INDIANA JONES , Foxes & Poisons is a whimsical tale of power, forbidden love, and unexpected adventures.
