When her widowed dad uproots her to Seoul from their home in L.A., Korean-American black belt Jae Hwa Lee must deal with fitting in at school, her dismissive Korean grandfather, and the demi-god Haemosu who seeks to steal her soul.

Korean American Jae Hwa Lee, being kept as a servant by the god Kud, finds an opportunity to break free when she is sent to steal the powerful Black Turtle orb, and returns to Marc, her true love, in hopes of regaining his trust and with him, destroy the darkness that threatens to overwhelm Korea.

After escaping death at the hands of an assassin sent by Kud, god of darkness, Jae Hwa Lee joins forces with the Guardians of Shinshi on a quest to find the White Tiger Orb before Kud can steal it.
