Ithaka O.

In the neon-lit shadows of Seoul, where magic hides in plain sight, a forgotten figurine waits in silent desperation for a purpose it can no longer fulfill.

When a sorceress abandons her clay creation—a once-magical vessel for her consciousness—the figurine is left to gather dust. Useless and alone, it resigns itself to eternal punishment. But when a desperate woman stumbles upon it, the figurine discovers an unexpected power in its brokenness. Can two discarded souls—one magical, one mundane—find purpose in each other when the world has deemed them both worthless?

*A haunting tale of magical realism that explores the profound question of what makes existence meaningful, and how salvation often comes from the most unexpected places.
