Dragon in the Moonlight

Song Yong is an ordinary girl. She meets a handsome coworker and plans a happy future. However, a simple walk in the park brings her to 16th-century Joseon, where mythical monsters are alive and magical rituals are being held, and a real dragon flies in the sky. Song Yong tries to stand her ground, but this Joseon is different from the one described in textbooks. To return home, Song Yong will have to sort herself out, navigate an altered history of non-Joseon, and deal with the fate of a mysterious captain of the dragon army.

The first book in the “Dragon and Tiger” series. “The Dragon Under the Moonlight” is a rare representative of the romance-drama novel subgenre. On the pages of this story, not only mythological creatures come alive, but the daily life of 16th-century Korea is also recreated in detail and with care by the author. The “Terms and Concepts” section at the end of the book will help the reader immerse themselves in the atmosphere of what’s happening. Kxenia Han invented her own “dragon language,” and the dictionary is included in the book as well. Knowing it reveals one of the final and brightest scenes in a new way.

An epic canvas tells the fate of a young girl who became a small cog in the mechanism of confrontation between Korean and Japanese armies—entangled in intrigues of those she trusted. But the strong of spirit cannot be broken, and hope still beats in the hearts of the dragon army’s soldiers—as love slowly blooms in the captain’s heart.
