It is her first novel set in Heian-era Japan, based in part on the Royall Tyler translation of the stories of the kitsune, or fox spirits. The lead characters are an ambitious human named Kaya no Yoshifuji and a fox woman named Kitsune. The story follows Johnson's Theodore Sturgeon Award-winning story "Fox Magic", and precedes her novel Fudoki in the "Love/War/Death" trilogy.
