In a city gilded with death, the only way to save her sister is to play the monster's game.
1919, Japanese-occupied Seoul. A glittering, deadly ash falls, transforming the colonial elite into "The Gilded"-elegant, flesh-eating aristocrats who retain their cruelest ambitions. To rescue her sister from their clutches, 17-year-old Go prodigy Soo-rin must infiltrate their macabre social season, where every ball is a battlefield and survival depends on outwitting predators in silk and bone.
With a snarky spy, a guilt-ridden scientist, and a silent sharpshooter as her only allies, Soo-rin will turn the city into a living game board. But the most dangerous player isn't a monster-it's the Governor's wife, a connoisseur of pain who has turned horror into high art. And watching from the shadows is something ancient, waiting to see if a mortal mind can do the impossible: checkmate a kingdom of nightmares.
