This story isn’t about Sun Wukong, the Monkey King—it’s about his daughter, Meilin. Only, she doesn’t know she’s the Monkey King’s daughter. In fact, she doesn’t know she’s half demon at all.
As far as Meilin knows, she’s an ordinary 14 year-old high school freshman from Midland Hills, California, facing all the problems that bright young girls face at that age—flakey girlfriends, zits, too much homework, bad hair days, obnoxious boys…
But all of that changes when her ancient past catches up with her…
