What’s inside...
In the climactic finale to Graci Kim’s Korean-mythology–inspired Gifted Clans trilogy, Riley Oh must unite the seven magical clans, confront ancient grudges, and open a mysterious hidden realm before the mortal world and the realms of the gods tear apart forever. Haunted by mistrust from her own community and the sudden disappearance of friends, Riley races across contemporary Los Angeles and through dazzling divine realms rooted in Korean legend, facing wraiths, dokkaebi tricksters, and her own doubts as she strives to mend what centuries of division have broken.
