They murdered her family. Then they sold her to the highest bidder.

Bought through the underground slave trade and whisked aboard a fortress-like container ship where wealthy loners wager on death matches, Sook Joo learns the rules fast: survive in the cold, crowded cells, obey the crew, and always volunteer—or face a long swim home.

She quickly realizes this ship doesn’t just carry orphans. It manufactures them.

But Sook Joo was raised differently. Her grandfather-sensei taught her discipline and composure over fear and subservience. While mercy is a virtue, vengeance salves the soul.

Refusing to break, Sook Joo prepares for war. Now there is only one way off the ship.

Five percent of net profits from Orphans of the Sea are donated to organizations working to combat human trafficking. Net profits are calculated after collaborator royalties, platform fees, and production and marketing expenses. The same method is used consistently for each reporting period.
