When Karon woke up, he was standing beside his own body.
Moments earlier, he had run into the road to save two cats from an oncoming truck.
The cats survived.
He didn't.
Now his body lies motionless on the asphalt, trapped in a coma, while his soul stands beside it in stunned silence.
And the truck driver who hit him has already vanished-leaving behind something strange.
A trace of dark energy that doesn't feel human at all.
Then an old woman appears.
She calls herself Iris, the goddess of the rainbow.
With a gentle smile, she offers Karon an impossible bargain.
Guide seven lost souls across the River Styx,
and he may return to life.
In a place called Haven, where wandering souls gather,
Karon begins his strange new task.
With the two cats he saved-
Sol, a sharp and serious black cat,
and Nell, a bright and mischievous white cat-
the three of them become something new.
Three guides for lost souls.
At the edge of the afterlife, they must face the 'Judgment of Stepping Stones'-a uniquely Korean world-building concept where every step is a trial of the heart.
In this mysterious realm rooted in Eastern sentiment, the three soul guides must overcome their own shock and grief to find the strength to move forward.
But somewhere in the shadows,
something is watching.
Patient.
Hungry.
And it is waiting for the moment
to devour the souls of the three guides.
