Eighteen years of silence. One night of fury. A love that defies the gravity of the heavens.
For eighteen years, Maya lived as a ghost in her own life-an outsider in the traditional village of Oksan, ignored by her adoptive family and dismissed by a world that never learned her name. Her only confidant was the Moon, the silent witness to her whispered dreams and bitter tears. But on the night of her eighteenth birthday, fueled by a lifetime of isolation, Maya does the unthinkable: she curses the Moon.
She calls the legendary Moon Rabbit a "dead rock." She calls the heavens a "voyeur." And for the first time in three thousand years, the Moon Rabbit hears her.
Yu Tu, the celestial guardian and master of the Elixir of Immortality, descends to Earth in a pillar of silver fire. He arrives not to bless, but to demand an apology from the girl whose voice has become the only rhythm in his eternal life. But as the god takes on the fragile, overwhelming form of a man, he finds that "humanity" is more dangerous than any curse.
From the hilarious chaos of spicy ramen challenges and tangled yo-yos to the heart-wrenching physical toll of a fading celestial spirit, Yu Tu and Maya enter a desperate bargain. As Maya finds her voice as a visionary designer, Yu Tu finds his heart in the "mundane noise" of the girl he was meant to only watch.
But the Moon is a jealous mistress, and a Blood Moon Eclipse is approaching-the final deadline for Yu Tu to return to his cold, silent palace. Now, they must decide: Is a few decades of noisy, painful, beautiful human life worth the price of an eternity in the stars?
"Lunar Eclipse of the Heart" is a sweeping tale of sacrifice and stardust, proving that the most powerful magic isn't found in the heavens, but in the simple act of finally being seen.
