Publisher Hodder & Stoughton

One well-known story, “The Tale Of Shim Cheong”, centres on the sacrificial virgin, being about a girl who offers herself up in exchange for her father’s lost eyesight.

Korean-American author Axie Oh takes these strands and weaves a modern tale for a new generation. It’s one in which once a year, a sea dragon breaks through the waves to bring a girl back to its master, the Sea God, and where spirits and beasts roam the streets of a shadowy underwater kingdom.
