About this listen
'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 byeoksa, 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 Eun-ho, a loyal servant to the King sent to investigate the chief state councillor's suspected treason. Eun-ho 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 becoming 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?

A vividly imagined fantasy of courtly intrigue reminiscent of the best Korean dramas. Come for the cross-dressing exorcist, stay for the sweeping love story that's bound to tug at your heart strings. (ELIZA CHAN, author of Fathomfolk)
Propulsive and compulsively readable, The Legend of Lady Byeoksa is a sweeping, romantic tale about reforging your own destiny. Set in an expansive fantasy world with a rich tapestry of elements drawn from Korean folklore, this is an engaging, imaginative book perfect for readers who wish to be transported. (JIHYUN YUN, author of And the River Drags Her Down)
Full of magic, action, and romance, The Legend of Lady Byeoksa reads like a sweeping historical K-drama brought to life on the page. Set in the Joseon dynasty and originally written in Korean, it's the kind of story I've always dreamed of reading. (JUNE HUR, author of A Crane Among Wolves)
