    Summary

    “I reckon ye only be mad at me,” he started, his eyes closing shut like he knew the prince would bring him no harm. “ ‘Cause ye 'ave no freedom in yer own life.”

    A simple sentence was all it was really, words compiled together to form a meaning. Sometimes such meanings were in fact meaningless, they held no truth and were only spoken for the sake of aggravation. Though in even rarer times, there was truth rooted in the very ground of the meaning and that was what caused the aggravation.

    But what would a pirate know?

     

    Or: Royal prince Seonghwa who is first in line for the throne, finally meets the recently captured and most feared pirate in all the Seven Seas who has been condemned to death. Every year on the feast on the Ceremony of the Golden Rose, the crown prince is to take a rose dipped in gold to present to one special prisoner as a gift of freedom and a new start at life. This year is like no other, besides the fact that the great pirate king who infuriates Seonghwa to no end might end up shedding a new kind of light on the young and very adventurous prince, changing his views altogether.

    Summary

    Existence is forced, you suffer and then you die.

    Not one diet, overtime shift, test score, charitable donation, dental cleaning, vitamin swallowed, seat belt worn, tumeric shot ingested, nor prayer to God to prevent it.

    So why would Hongjoong waste his perfectly, meaningless life doing anything of substance at all?

    When instead, he could be doing heroin.

    ✘ ✘ ✘

    Kim Hongjoong is a petty car thief who is utterly repulsed by the mundanity of life. Enter Park Seonghwa, Mother Superior, who shows him that there are a few things that can still make it all worthwhile.

    Summary

    Hongjoong knew that witches were beautiful. He’d seen them before, dead bodies tied to pyres. They were always beautiful. He knew this, yet he still wasn’t prepared.

    The creature's eyes opened and shut, unused to the brightness of the afternoon sun. Eyes landed first on the house and courtyard before him, then to Hongjoong’s father, then his brother, then him.

    The eyes bored into his. Hongjoong saw the long, delicate eyelashes, angular eyebrows, and the perfect cheekbones. Long, slender fingers came out of the blanket to grip delicately onto the wood of the wagon beneath it. He barely saw the latter, consumed as he suddenly was.

    The witch’s head cocked to the side, examining him. Time stood still, and Hongjoong’s breath caught in his throat as he was hit with the urge to vomit, to cry, to laugh, to sing, all at once.

     

    In which Hongjoong, witch hunter, is tasked with delivering the witch Seonghwa to his execution.

    Summary

    When Prince Seonghwa is imprisoned on the pirate ship Twilight for a crime he never committed, he tries to plead his innocence, but no one will listen. No one except for the enigmatic pirate named San who is posted outside his cell.

    Secretly, San and Seonghwa develop an unlikely, powerful bond. San tells Seonghwa stories, and Seonghwa teaches San to read.

    They find hope in each other, but foul magic has infected the ship and it is slowly warping the crew to darker, more monstrous versions of themselves.

    And Seonghwa? Seonghwa just wants to see the sun one more time.
