From traditional Kyoto to the glittering Ginza, Athena Fox navigates both the very public and very private hotspots of Japan to infiltrate a powerful cult hiding in plain sight and discover their best-kept secret.
Through dawn runs in the old geisha district, sword fights in the dusty streets of a studio town, and private lessons from an elegant Takarasienne, “Penny” finds herself growing into her role. From the luxuries of a traditional ryokan to the neon-lit craziness of the fan haven Akiba, she begins to think that she might be able to pull off the globe-trotting adventurer she once dreamed of being.
And in the deep snows of a holy mountain, in mortal peril, she might just discover that “Penny” has some unique skills of her own…
Her mission brings her face to face with ninja-like warriors, shadowy government agents, and mysterious forest spirits. But what really worries Athena / Penny is that her cover will be blown and she will become just another mythic legend in a mystical land where tradition collides with pop culture. So grab your well-worn fedora and a fist-full of shuriken for a trip through the funhouse mirror when you purchase A Fox’s Wedding, now available at Amazon.com!
