{"product_id":"the-god-and-the-gumiho-9780593599662","title":"The God and the Gumiho","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn this sly and dazzling contemporary fantasy, the most notorious nine-tailed fox in Korea pairs up with a trickster god-turned-detective to track down a wrathful demon . . . before it can destroy the mortal world.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKim Hani has retired from a life of devouring souls. She is, simply put, too full. Once known as the infamous Scarlet Fox, she now spends her days working in a coffee shop and annoying a particularly irritating, if unfairly handsome, trickster god as often as she can. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e That god is Seokga the Fallen. Exiled from the heavenly kingdom of Okhwang, he now begrudgingly resides in the mortal realm, working toward his redemption and suffering through his interactions with the particularly infuriating, if sneakily charming, gumiho barista at his favorite café. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But when a powerful demon escapes from the underworld and threatens to end all of humanity, Okhwang's emperor offers Seokga an enticing bargain: Kill this rogue creature, as well as the legendary and elusive Scarlet Fox, and he will be reinstated as a god. Hani, however, has no intention of being caught. Seokga might be a trickster god, but she has a trick of her own that he'll never see coming: teaming up. As Seokga's assistant, Hani will undermine and sabotage his investigation right under his overly pointy nose. Sure, she'll help him kill the demon, but she certainly won't allow him to uncover her secret identity while they're at it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the bickering partners track their case down a path of mayhem and violence, the god and the gumiho find themselves inescapably drawn to each other. But will the unlikely couple stand together to prevent the apocalypse, or will they let their secrets tear them--and the world--apart?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Del Rey Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593599662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2024 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sophie Kim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43897331810485,"sku":"9780593599662","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5deff745-0413-4b9c-b51c-29d54f4584a6.jpg?v=1712633833","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-god-and-the-gumiho-9780593599662","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
