In a colonised land where tigers are being hunted to extinction and ancient magic stirs, two star-crossed teens – Lee Seung, a servant yearning for freedom, and Choi Eunji, a noble girl defying tradition – join forces to try and reshape their respective fates.

But their relationship evolves from begrudging accomplices to bitter adversaries as they soon find themselves on opposite sides of a battle over the last tiger, a symbol of their people’s lost freedom and key to the liberation of their country. As the ties between Seung and Eunji are complicated by their conflicting loyalties, tensions rise – especially when a charming princeling of the empire begins to rival for Eunji’s affection.

In this friends-to-enemies-to-lovers story of forbidden romance, antagonists turned allies, oppression and liberation, neither Seung nor Eunji can abandon their mission – or each other. And as they embark on separate quests to find the elusive creature, each must also find the power within themselves to make their own destiny.
