Book Synopsis

In a world where even the smallest transgressions breed monstrous consequences, 19 year old Sung, after a tragic incident, is cursed with three scales on his chest, and believes that if he just obeys the law with unflinching dedication, then his transformation won't continue further. But all is not as it seems when Sung faces the unexpected consequences of a seemingly heroic act, and learns that the city elite, their laws, and their Champion does not work for the common folk like Sung thought.
