Family isn't just about blood; it is the light that guides you home or the weight that pulls you into the deep. For Seung-Hyeon Gi, it has always been both. Living as an aspiring hunter under the shadow of his legendary father, Seung-Hyeon has spent years grappling with a bitter truth: his family’s world stopped when his sister, So-Hyeon, fell into a coma. But the status quo is shattered when So-Hyeon finally opens her eyes, and she isn't the same girl anymore.

Returning as a Homecomer, she brings back reality-bending powers from another world that defy everything known to modern hunters. Suddenly, the dynamic shifts. Seung-Hyeon realizes that if he wants to survive this new world and keep his sister safe from the vultures circling her power, he has to become more than just a dreamer. He needs to become a monster in his own right. The journey leads him to the Seong-Han Academy for the Gifted, a place where ambition and survival collide. Island of Stars and Chains is a gripping tale of sibling loyalty, high-stakes hunter politics, and the relentless pursuit of strength in a world where your closest bond might be your greatest weakness.
