When Kalmin gets abducted for stealing a priceless tapestry, its up to Lina to rescue him. If she doesnt, the gang kills her sister. The job sounds simplebut then she finds out Kalmin scorned the infamous Piperthe magical flute-wielding emperor of an immortal goblin folk that used to rule over humanity. The enigmatic Dokkaebi king isnt more than a scary campfire tale to Linauntil he shows himself to her, offering a bargain: kill him and Kalmin walks free.
It seems absurd, but she soon realizes that the cunning Piper, grown weary and bored over the centuries, thinks its all a fun game. Lina is determined to kill him regardless. But what she doesnt expect is for his charm to enchant her tooand theres no happy ending for anyone who falls for the goblin king.
