The Crimson Vixen by Dee Carey is an epic fantasy novel inspired by Irish lore. After ten-year-old orphan Leigh Longwurth rescues the fox pup Kit, they form a unique bond set to last a lifetime. It turns out that Leigh is the cousin of King Arthur's wife, Queen Guinevere, while Kit, in her human form, roams the seas as the fierce pirate Kit O'Malley. As per the Ordination of the Ancient Druids, Leigh is told he will inherit the throne of Ireland with Kit alongside him. But Kit is an independent spirit who yearns for freedom and is determined to choose her own course. While the dark witch Morganna hatches a nefarious plan to usurp the Irish throne, Merlin must ensure the Druids' prophecy comes to fruition. Meanwhile, Leigh and Kit fall head over heels for each other.

Rich in lore and filled with romance and magic, The Crimson Vixen is a fascinating story fantasy lovers will devour with relish. Author Dee Carey weaves an intricate plot full of unexpected twists and turns that keep you guessing what's to come until the end. The characters are vibrant, and they have colorful personalities that pop out of the pages. Everyone has a distinct voice, and I found them thoroughly compelling to read. There are some medieval mythological figures who play key roles in this story, such as Merlin, Sir Lancelot, King Arthur, and Guinevere. Leigh and Kit's relationship was one of my favorite aspects of this story. If you're looking for some medieval fantasy romance, The Crimson Vixen is the book for you.
