MinSook McCreary: Kumiho, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A debut romantic fantasy which retells the love story of Tristan and Iseult, weaving together a rich tapestry of Korean folklore and Arthurian legend. Charting an immortal kumiho's epic journey from Ganghwa-do to Cornwall, this is a powerful tale of destiny, identity and political intrigue.
Cursed with the powers of the kumiho stone by her dying mother, Yi-Seul has resigned herself to the precarious and lonely life of a half-blooded fox spirit, living on the fringes of her superstitious Korean village with her shaman nursemaid, goblin companions, and her fire dog. Her life is solitary, until she saves the shipwrecked knight, Tristan of Cornwall.
Tristan is in search of a cure for his beloved cousin, Colin, who is dying of a mysterious illness. Lured by tales of the powerful kumiho, which has powers over life and death, Tristan's ship crashes on the shores of Joseon. Nursed back to health by Yi-seul, the two strangers find themselves bonding in a way that transcends their two worlds.
