Description
In a small coastal town where family legends are treated like laws, Soojin Han has always known the one rule that keeps ancestral magic contained: never resurrect anything larger than the palm of her hand. When her older sister Mirae is found drowned, Soojin breaks that rule and brings her back—only for the miracle to curdle into something hungry, restless, and determined to complete a life that was interrupted. As relentless rain swells the river’s power and a string of unsettling deaths begins to surface, Soojin must confront the possibility that the sister she restored may not be the one she lost. Blending slow-burn horror with aching themes of grief, inheritance, and the stories families tell to survive, Jihyun Yun delivers a haunting, atmospheric descent into what we risk when we try to rewrite the past.
