It brings the very best of fantasy.\" —Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Inspired by true stories from the authors’ grandparents’ lives during one of the darkest periods in Korean history, The Last Tiger is a debut young adult fantasy novel about the power of love to give voice to a silenced people. The gorgeous first edition hardcover features: a metallic foil cover, illustrated endpapers, custom designed edges, and stunning foil stamped case. In a colonized land where tigers are being hunted to extinction and ancient magic stirs, two star-crossed teens—Lee Seung, a servant yearning for freedom, and Choi Eunji, a noble girl defying tradition—join forces to try and reshape their respective fates. But their relationship evolves from begrudging accomplices to bitter adversaries as they soon find themselves on opposite sides of a battle over the last tiger, a symbol of their people’s lost freedom and key to the liberation of their country. As the ties between Seung and Eunji are complicated by their conflicting loyalties, tensions rise—especially when a charming princeling of the empire begins to rival for Eunji's affection. In this friends-to-enemies-to-lovers story of forbidden romance, antagonists turned allies, oppression and liberation, neither Seung nor Eunji can abandon their mission—or each other. And as they embark on separate quests to find the elusive creature, each must also find the power within themselves to make their own destiny.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9798217002047","publication_date":"20250729","publisher":"Penguin Young Readers Group","slug":"the-last-tiger","subtitle":"","title":"The Last Tiger"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"YAF024030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Historical YA - Asia","score":0.7991,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF046030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Asia for Teens","score":0.7885,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF017030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Ethnic & Regional Fairy Tales for Teens","score":0.7737,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"YAF024030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Historical YA - Asia","score":0.7991,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF046030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Asia for Teens","score":0.7885,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF017030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Ethnic & Regional Fairy Tales for Teens","score":0.7737,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"YAF019040","confidence_band":"high","label":"Historical YA Fantasy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF019060","confidence_band":"high","label":"YA Fantasy Romance","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF024030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Historical YA - Asia","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Historical YA - Asia","score":0.7991,"slug":"historical-ya-asia"},{"label":"Asia for Teens","score":0.7885,"slug":"asia-for-teens"},{"label":"Ethnic & Regional Fairy Tales for Teens","score":0.7737,"slug":"ethnic-regional-fairy-tales-for-teens"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Historical YA - Asia","Good for fans of Fantasy","Good for readers who enjoy Historical YA - Asia and Asia for Teens."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Mark James Russell"],"book_id":"9780804844970","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780804844970.jpg?v=20260417T162657Z%3A2026-04-17T16%3A26%3A57Z","score":19.3213,"title":"Young-hee and the Pullocho","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780804844970"},{"authors":["Kat Cho"],"book_id":"9781984812391","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781984812391.jpg?v=20260417T162657Z%3A2026-04-17T16%3A26%3A57Z","score":19.3007,"title":"Vicious Spirits","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781984812391"},{"authors":["Aimee Phan"],"book_id":"9780593697337","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593697337.jpg?v=20260417T162657Z%3A2026-04-17T16%3A26%3A57Z","score":18.5818,"title":"The Lost Queen","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593697337"},{"authors":["Amélie Wen Zhao"],"book_id":"9780593813874","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593813874.jpg?v=20260417T162657Z%3A2026-04-17T16%3A26%3A57Z","score":17.743,"title":"The Scorpion and the Night Blossom","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593813874"},{"authors":["Gabe Cole Novoa","Vico Ortiz","Listening Library","& 0 more"],"book_id":"9780593378045","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593378045.jpg?v=20260417T162657Z%3A2026-04-17T16%3A26%3A57Z","score":17.557,"title":"The Wicked Bargain","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593378045"},{"authors":["Betty G.
