To save her brother, Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong’s stead. But on the night Cheong is to be sacrificed, Joon follows Cheong out to sea, even knowing that to interfere is a death sentence. Many believe that Shim Cheong, the most beautiful girl in the village - and the beloved of Mina’s older brother Joon - may be the legendary true bride. ![]() ![]() In an attempt to appease him, each year a beautiful maiden is thrown into the sea to serve as the Sea God’s bride, in the hopes that one day the “true bride” will be chosen and end the suffering. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curses them with death and despair. Floods sweep away entire villages, while bloody wars are waged over the few remaining resources. ![]() The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea was one of those books for me.ĭeadly storms have ravaged Mina’s homeland for generations.
