SUMMARY

SUMMARY

An addictive fantasy-romance set in modern-day Seoul.

Eighteen year old Gu Miyoung has a secret. She is a gumiho, a nine tailed fox who must devour the energy of men in order to survive. She is also half-human and has a soft spot for people. Only a few believe in the old tales and with the help of a shaman she will only kill evil men who have committed terrible crimes. The modern city of Seoul is the perfect place to hide and hunt. But after feeding one full moon, Miyoung crosses paths with Jihoon, a human boy, being attacked by a goblin deep in the forest. Against her better judgement, she violates the rules of survival to rescue the boy, losing her fox-bead-her gumiho soul in the process.

Jihoon knows Miyoung is more than just a beautiful girl-he saw her nine tails the night she saved his life. His grandmother used to tell him stories of the gumiho, of their power and the danger they pose to men. He's drawn to her anyway. When he finds her fox bead, he does not realize he holds her life in his hands.

With murderous forces lurking in the backgroud, Miyoung and Jihoon develop a tenuous friendship that blossoms into something more. But when a young shaman tries to reunite Miyoung with her bead, the consequences are disastrous and reignite a generations-old feud, forcing Miyoung to choose between her immortal life and Jihoon's.
