The God and the Gwisin
by Sophie Kim
Book 2 in Fate's Thread
Sophie Kim weaves Korean mythology into a love story that spans lifetimes. The murder mystery keeps the plot tight while the romance earns every moment of its slow burn. Seokga is the kind of immortal love interest who makes you feel the weight of centuries in a single look.
