I've been the archer
I've been the prey
Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling?
But who could stay?
Han Soo-jin has always fought battles-some in the shadows, some in her own heart. At 17, life has taught her to be tough, to be vigilant, to guard herself against the cruelty of the world. But when she becomes a Counter, tasked with hunting evil spirits that prey on humans, her life grows even more dangerous... and lonely.
Enter So Mun-a boy whose warmth and quiet strength stir feelings she thought were long buried. He sees through the walls she's built, challenging her to confront the parts of herself she keeps hidden. She's been the archer, she's been the prey, and now she must ask herself: who could ever leave her, and who could truly stay?
The Archer is a story of battles fought in the dark, the courage to trust, and the fragile hope that even someone who's always guarded can find love... if they let themselves.
