The wicked fox book6/7/2023 Things get complicated when Jihoon touches it, inadvertently connecting them through dreams. When she rescues high school classmate Jihoon from a goblin, her fox bead, or soul, falls outside her body. Her family has moved whenever suspicions are raised or she accidentally shows her superhuman strength, and Miyoung has resigned herself to her nomadic life, staying emotionally detached and avoiding friendships. Unlike her legendary mom, Yena, who devours her prey’s livers, Miyoung humanely gives hers painless deaths, slowly draining their energy. Conflicted over needing to kill to survive, she finds some moral reprieve by seeking out murderers as her prey with the help of Nara, a young shaman who sees the unsettled ghosts of the murdered. Gu Miyoung is not your typical teenager: She’s half gumiho and must feed on gi, the energy from living beings, every full moon. A gumiho, or nine-tailed fox from Korean folktales, fights for survival in contemporary Seoul, South Korea.
