The Last Tiger

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Inspired by true stories from the authors' grandparents' lives during one of the darkest periods in Korean history, The Last Tiger is a debut young adult fantasy novel about the power of love to give voice to a broken people. In a colonized 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.
