Description
In a world where ancient spirits still bargain with the living, a young protagonist is drawn into a dangerous alliance between the divine and the monstrous. As a gumiho’s cunning and hunger for power collide with the promises of a god, the story unfolds through shifting loyalties, forbidden bargains, and the cost of survival in a landscape ruled by myth. Blending Korean folklore with high-stakes suspense, the novel explores themes of identity, temptation, and what it means to be “good” when morality is shaped by fear and legend. With Sophie Kim’s vivid, atmospheric storytelling and emotionally driven character work, this is a captivating tale of mythic intrigue that turns folklore into a mirror for human longing.
