Everyone knows that Taehyung’s never been one to be limited by rules. Beloved by the other villagers, young and old alike, they all agree that the boy possesses a huge heart that underlies a unique sense of wisdom. For his coming-of-age ceremony, people murmured in surprise and worry when he picked the largest, most intimidating steed in the whole herd, a dark bay mare whose tossing head towered above him by several feet — only to sigh and chuckle when horse and boy wound up forging the strongest of bonds after all.
So, really, who could be surprised when one evening he strolls into the village leading Hodu by her reins with one hand, and holding the cursed boy’s wrist in his other?
(Or; Taehyung is aware of just what he’d do to save his best friend’s life — what he’d do to bring him back.)
Marked unlucky since birth, a survivor of infant abandonment, Namjoon has been raised and molded into an expert Huntsman: a monster slayer-for-hire and pariah of human society. But when a mad king orders him to track down and bring back a living siren — the last of three in existence, and one Namjoon has been searching for himself — for whatever reason, Namjoon finds himself drawn to the half-human creature and his enrapturing song…especially as he begins to realize just how alike they are in the eyes of the world.
