The pain should have ended. Instead, it started spreading. When glowing meridian lines appear beneath the skin of a Korean-American teen in California, he tells himself it has to be stress, illness, anything but the truth. But the lines are real. They react to fear. They answer his touch. And one of them is turning black. As the pathways inside his body begin to awaken, he is pulled into a hidden world where ancient medicine was never just about healing. Meridians can sharpen the senses, twist the body, unlock impossible power—and destroy the person carrying them. Now he has to find out what is corrupting his channels before the darkness reaches his heart and changes him into something no longer human. The Meridian Boy is a supernatural coming-of-age mystery about Eastern medicine, hidden power, and the fear of becoming something unknown.
