“Elegant, atmospheric, and immensely satisfying. The dark academia debut of 2026”— Sarah Underwood, author of Lies We Sing to the Sea
“The Fox Hunt feels like running full-tilt through a nighttime forest. It winningly combines the darkness of old fairy tales with the glittering pleasures of secret societies, and is full of delights both anticipated and subversive. I thoroughly enjoyed it.”―Emma Törzs, author of Ink Blood Sister Scribe
