4.0

A prodigious cryptozoologist turned romance writer begins a series of stories about the beasts of the fictional Chinese city of Yong’an, where she lives.  As she uncovers the origins and lifestyles of each type of beast, telling their stories, she also searches for clarity within her own relationships—with her late mother, with her temperamental professor and his young assistant, and with herself.  It seems that the more she discovers, the less she truly knows.  Dive into this mysterious and wholly original world and see for yourself what’s real and what isn’t.
