The Fox Woman
Signed by the author on the title page. A misstep at court forces Yoshifuji to retire to his long-deserted country estate. Kitsune is a young fox who is fascinated by the large creatures that have suddenly invaded her world. She is drawn to Yoshifuji, comes to love him, and will do anything to become a human woman so she can be with him. Shikujo is Yoshifuji's wife, ashamed of her husband, yet in love with him. She is confused by his fascination with the creatures of the wood, and knows that the foxes are harbingers of danger. She is determined to win him back from the wild - but she has her own fox-related secret.

Fudoki
Signed by the author on the title page. Enter the world of Kagaya-hime, a sometime woman warrior, occasional philosopher, and reluctant confidante to noblemen - who may or may not be a figment of the imagination of an aging empress who is embarking on the last journey of her life, setting aside the trappings of court life and reminiscing on the paths that lead her to death. For she is a being who started her journey on the kami, the spirit road, as a humble tortoiseshell feline. She has seen her family destroyed by a fire that decimated most of the imperial city. Without her fudoki - self and soul and home and shrine - she cannot keep the power of her clan together. And she cannot join another fudoki because, although she might be able to win a place within another clan, to do so would mean that she would cease to be herself. So a small cat begins an extraordinary journey. Along the way she will attract the attention of old and ancient powers. Gods who are curious about this creature newly come to Japan's shores, and who choose to give the tortoiseshell a human shape.
