The Fox and the Trickster is a sly and dazzling contemporary fantasy where myth and modernity collide in a thrilling adventure. Kim Hani, once the infamous Scarlet Fox with a penchant for devouring souls, has retired to a quiet life as a barista in a coffee shop. Her days are filled with the mundane, but her life takes a turn when she crosses paths with Seokga the Fallen—a trickster god exiled from his celestial realm and now working toward his redemption.

Their worlds collide when a powerful demon escapes from the underworld and threatens humanity’s existence. In a bid to restore Seokga’s divine status, Okhwang’s emperor demands the death of both the rogue demon and the elusive Scarlet Fox.
