Top Novel #5

Ready for your second to last book? This one will probably be the hardest to guess...

1. It's a debut novel from an American author
2. The novel is steeped in Korean folklore
3. The main character is a demon slayer with yellow eyes

Any ideas?

Here's a quote:

"I believe that one person can change the world. Whether he is the Musado or a girl with a tiger spirit. The monks teach that we mere mortals cannot question fate. But I say that we control destiny by our every action. Our power lies in the choices we make." Her father placed his warm hand on her cheek. "In the choices you make. Remember, stay true to yourself and do what your heart tells you is right, and not what is easy.”
