The Jade Cicada's Cure

Lin is a pragmatic ER nurse in San Francisco who views her emerging werewolf symptoms as a terrifying medical pathology she must suppress. She seeks help from Ren, the enigmatic owner of a Chinatown apothecary, who reveals that her condition is not a disease, but an ancestral legacy connected to the Tian Gou (Celestial Dog). Desperate to stop the violent physical changes consuming her body, Lin rushes into a traditional apothecary in Chinatown, seeking a poison to kill the wolf inside her. Instead of a cure, she finds Ren, a mysterious herbalist who forces her to confront the truth: she isn't sick, she is awakening, and the only way to survive is to stop fighting the tide.
