The End of Times. The Fiery Queen

Her name is Hu Fanlan. She looks like a human, but belongs to an ancient species of demonic beings - fox shapeshifters. Since time immemorial, shapeshifters have dominated the human race, feeding on the emanations of human souls. But one fine day, a Buddhist monk discovers the immortal soul within Hu Fanlan, and she becomes almost like any human. Alexander Lipinsky unexpectedly finds himself as the bearer of the secret knowledge of the Taoist order of the Guardians, which has opposed shapeshifters for thousands of years. The foxes want to subjugate the young man and force him to serve their dark cause. If they succeed, humanity will be on the brink of extinction. But standing in the way of the shapeshifters are the young daughter of the Taoist patriarch Mei Lin and Hu Fanlan herself. Will they be able to save the young adept of secret Taoist knowledge, and along with him - the whole world?
