7FATES: CHAKHO (novel)

Created by HYBE

With BTS 

It all begins when Zeha wakes up in a hospital with no memory of how he got there. Retracing his steps, he stumbles onto a terrible truth—the city is under attack by otherworldly monsters called the Beom, and at the center of it all is Zeha himself! But thankfully, he does not stand alone. Others who have bravely taken up the fight cross paths with Zeha, seemingly drawn to each other by fate. The seven hunters band together to defend their home, but they soon begin to realize that the Beom invasion is only the beginning… 

The 7FATES: CHAKHO novel will be released as a standalone volume, offering the complete story in one handsome hardcover, and will include photos of BTS. Ize Press hinted that the English print editions of the original stories by HYBE, THE STAR SEEKERS and DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR, would also be released before the end of the year, both of which also contain photos of the K-pop sensations TOMORROW X TOGETHER and ENHYPEN, respectively. 7FATES: CHAKHO is a must-have for fans looking for more BTS related content, Korean folklore–inspired fantasy readers, and those who would like more lore beyond what’s included in the comics of the same name.

About the author

Rouven Linnarz

Ever since I watched Takeshi Kitano's "Hana-Bi" for the first time (and many times after that) I have been a cinephile. While much can be said about the technical aspects of film, coming from a small town in Germany, I cherish the notion of art showing its audience something which one does normally avoid, neglect or is unable to see for many different reasons. Often the stories told in films have helped me understand, discover and connect to something new which is a concept I would like to convey in the way I talk and write about films. Thus, I try to include some info on the background of each film as well as a short analysis (without spoilers, of course), an approach which should reflect the context of a work of art no matter what genre, director or cast. In the end, I hope to pass on my joy of watching film and talking about it.
