Listen to this addictive fantasy-romance tale set in the bustling streets of modern-day Seoul. Meet Gu Miyoung, an eighteen-year-old with a secret that sets her apart from the rest. She's not just an ordinary girl, she's a gumiho, a legendary nine-tailed fox who must feed on the energy of men to survive.
In a world where the old tales have lost their believers, and where evil men roam freely, Seoul becomes the perfect hiding place for Miyoung as she prowls the city, searching for her next meal.
However, everything changes when Miyoung stumbles upon Jihoon, a human boy under attack by a goblin deep in the forest. Against her instincts, she breaks the rules of her survival instincts and saves the boy, but in doing so, she loses her prized fox bead, the very essence of her gumiho soul.
As Jihoon starts to piece together the truth, he realizes that Miyoung is more than meets the eye--he witnessed her nine tails on the night she saved his life. His grandmother's tales of the dangerous gumiho come flooding back, but he can't help being drawn to Miyoung. Unbeknownst to him, the fox bead he found holds Miyoung's fate in his hands.
With dark forces lurking in the shadows, Miyoung and Jihoon form a precarious friendship that gradually blossoms into something more. But when a young shaman takes it upon herself to reunite Miyoung with her lost bead, the consequences are catastrophic, reigniting an age-old conflict. Now, Miyoung must make a choice between her eternal existence as a gumiho and Jihoon's life.
