A sixteen-year-old refugee, running from a forced marriage to a tyrant, finds no safe harbor, only a pirate ship. In the morning, shouts wake you and coarse hands haul you onto the deck. Dozens of hardened men stare at you like loot, ready to toss you to the waves. Suddenly, silence. A low, resonant voice—Hyunjin’s voice—cuts the air: ‘Touch her and I’ll drown you.’ The pirates retreat, clearing a path to the captain, who commands, ‘Bring her to me.’
