Description



Book Synopsis



"They can only take that which you clasp lightly."

Alise, an inmate at an asylum for the criminally insane, wants nothing more than a life of freedom in the forest she loves.

Charged with the murder of her lover, Alise is convinced she has been framed. Motivated by this belief she manipulates, cheats and steals her way out only to be captured by a mysterious acquaintance, who claims his intentions align with her own. Together, they embark on a path of betrayal that distorts the very fabric of her reality.

Alise is thrown into a realm unlike anything she's ever imagined. A world of opulent balls and fanciful inventions that defy the laws of science. As an outlawed trespasser, she must choose between a certain death or accepting aid from The Colony's most feared lieutenant-the very man who betrayed her heart. Bound by their shared secret, they are forced to work together and play their roles perfectly lest they be discovered and executed for their crimes.

Will Alise ever be free and return to her beloved forest? Or will she be swallowed whole by this strange new world?

How the Fox Runs is a mind-bending journey between fantasy and reality where new worlds are discovered in a distant reflection of our own. Perfect for fans of V.E. Schwab, Stephanie Garber and Erin Morgenstern.



Review Quotes




Goodreads Reviews:


"The fantasy elements are interwoven perfectly and J.O. Ellis' beautiful prose takes you on a journey so well done that you barely recognize you are reading because you are so immersed."


"This book is unique and compelling, visually immersive and extremely captivating, drip-feeding hints and ominous clues that make the reader hungry for so much more. I was wholly entranced by the lyrical prose Ellis weaved into this story, amongst a cottagecore meets dark academia backdrop with vivid mental health representation."


"This book was a phenomenal read! Original story and beautiful character development along with vivid world building. I flew through this book and just when I thought I might have had an idea of where the story was going, it completely flipped direction, and did not disappoint!"


" I can truly say I was BLOWN AWAY by J.O. Ellis's talent for storytelling and the mesmerizing world she created. This is an author's debut you won't want to miss out on. Every single detail in this story is perfectly wound into the overarching plot. I cannot recommend this enough for people who love fantasy, romance, all tied together with a bit of suspense and adventure!"
