《어둑시니: 그림자를 먹는 아이》
EODUKSINI: The Boy Who Eats Shadows
Joseon, 1590.
In a secluded mountain village, an ancient ritual is performed every year to keep something buried beneath the mountain asleep.
For generations, the villagers have obeyed one rule:
Never answer when the mountain calls your name.
But on the night Han Do-yun turns seventeen, the forbidden mountain bell rings for the first time in years.
A strange creature appears beneath the moon.
It knows his name.
And it claims that Do-yun possesses something that was never meant to belong to him-
his shadow.
As forgotten rituals awaken and an ancient presence begins moving through the forest, Do-yun discovers that his birth was connected to a secret his grandfather took to the grave.
A secret involving 어둑시니, a mythical darkness that has waited for centuries.
Some legends are meant to be remembered.
Others were buried for a reason.
And some shadows...
do not belong to the person standing beneath them.
