An atmospheric Asian fantasy with two time lines - modern Japan and Edo-era Japan - tells a poignant story of love that knows no barriers.
She is a mortal girl with the ability to see the otherworld. He is an immortal kitsune shapeshifter, a messenger of the goddess Inari. Her gift is to paint visionary paintings. His curse is to love her against the gods' strictest ban. She died in his arms once before. Centuries later, fate brings them together again. What will win this time - her gift or his curse? Eri, a talented young artist, returns to her hometown from Tokyo to paint a series of paintings for an upcoming exhibition. Seeking inspiration, she travels to the ancient shrine of the goddess Inari - and encounters the mysterious temple owner, who always wears a fox mask. This encounter changes everything. The girl is hunted by demons and ghosts from ancient legends, and she begins to see things that are inaccessible to the eyes of an ordinary mortal. Now Eri has to find out what happened in a mysterious shrine more than three centuries ago in the Edo era, and remember why the owner of the fox mask seems so familiar to her. Alexandra Alva's novel When the Camellia Blooms is a puzzle whose secrets are revealed throughout the book, and a total immersion into Japanese culture. This book is a true gift to fans of the genre and a mesmerizing read about true love.
