The blood of a miracle. The heart of a hunter. The fire of a revolution.
For fifteen years, Yeri has lived as a ghost. Born with the legendary "Phoenix" blood-a genetic miracle capable of healing and regenerating-she is the world's most precious discovery and its most hunted prey. Sold by her father as a child and forced into a life of shadows, she survives in a world she can only see during the day.
Jungkook is a man forged in the dark. As an elite Tracker and heir to BioHelix Lab-the pioneering empire built on the illegal harvest of Phoenix blood-he was raised to believe that Yeri is not a person, but an "Asset." But when he finally corners her in a small town, the cold heart of the hunter shatters. Instead of bringing her in, he finds himself standing between Yeri and the empire his own father built.
"Don't move the chair. Please. If things move after the sun sets, I lose the map in my head."
"I didn't realize... the legends didn't say the light in your eyes comes at the cost of the dark."
"It's ironic, isn't it? My blood can save a life, but I can't even see my own feet in a dark room. I'm a masterpiece in the day and a clumsy ghost at night."
"You aren't a ghost, Yeri. Not to me. I'll be your eyes. As long as you need them."
The hunt is over. The rise begins.
