This addictive fantasy-romance set in modern-day Seoul is an international bestseller and Entertainment Weekly called it “…an utterly original take on the young-adult fantasy.” Eighteen-year-old Gu Miyoung has a secret–she’s a gumiho, a nine-tailed fox who must devour the energy of men in order to survive. Because so few believe in the old tales anymore, and with so many evil men no one will miss, the modern city of Seoul is the perfect place to hide and hunt. Miyoung’s life is upended when she kills a dokkaebi, a murderous goblin, just to save the life of a human boy. But after Miyoung saves Jihoon’s life, the two develop a tenuous friendship that blooms into romance forcing Miyoung to choose between her immortal life and Jihoon’s.
