'Bound to tug at your heart strings' ELIZA CHAN 'A top-tier historical fantasy' SHELLEY PARKER-CHAN 'A historical K-drama brought to life on the page' JUNE HUR 'A sweeping, romantic tale about reforging your own destiny' JIHYUN YUN A tale of star-crossed lovers, political intrigue and mysticism inspired by Korean mythology and set in the Joseon dynasty. 'Whether I remember or not, it seems I am destined to love you.' Lady Seomun Bin has a secret: she is a cross-dressing byeoksaga, or ghost-stalker. Born with the unenviable ability to see spirits, she is forced to disguise herself as a man to perform exorcisms in order to break the demonic curse on her which puts those around her in danger. When she sneaks into a lavish party at the Sagokjeong, the chief state councillor's country home, she bumps into Hyun Eunho, a loyal servant to the King sent to investigate the chief state councillor's suspected treason. Eunho feels an inexplicable attraction towards Bin and tries to get closer to her, while Bin, for reasons of her own, attempts to avoid him. As they continue to cross paths, they become increasingly entangled by the inescapable threads of fate that keep drawing them together. Meanwhile, a darker presence is growing in power in the Underworld and the boundaries between the physical world and the one beyond continue to grow thinner. As evil forces seek to exert their influence over the court, Bin and Eunho must work together to overpower them. Where will their destined connection lead? Will they finally be able to break Bin's curse? Translated from the Korean by Gene Png
