Riley

Book Two of The Fox and the Girl: secrets, betrayal, and the power of friendship tested in a world of magic and destiny.

After a narrow escape from Bilal and his followers, Keira, Riley, and Luza cross a lake in search of refuge with the faeries. But safety is fleeting, and secrets threaten to tear the friends apart. Riley hides truths that could unravel their mission, while Luza struggles to heal from her wounds and the poison inflicted by Bilal's dog. Both fox and boy know more than they reveal-truths that could cost Keira everything.

Meanwhile, Keira reunites briefly with her father and faces the crushing reality of her destiny. Accepting it is harder than she imagined, and the path forward demands more courage than she's ever known.

With Bilal seeking revenge and Sohon's shadow spreading, the three companions must find strength before the prophecy slips beyond their grasp. Riley is the second book in Jonathan Kuiper's tween-to-young adult fantasy series, The Fox and the Girl (formerly known as the Luza series), weaving shapeshifting magic, betrayal, and the unbreakable bond of friendship into a thrilling coming-of-age adventure.
