In the history of North Korean fiction, no BL story has dared to go this far. This is the most heart-wrenching love story ever told from behind the DMZ. Beneath the North Star is the first-ever BL novel to boldly explore a forbidden love between two North Koreans, trapped in a regime that punishes not only freedom... but the very act of loving. In the harsh borderlands of Musan, North Korea, Kang Hae-jin struggles each day to survive hunger, poverty, and the blind loyalty of his parents to the regime. Everything changes when he encounters Senior Lieutenant Jeong Tae-ho-a soldier who should have executed him for stealing corn, but instead shows him mercy. From that single act, a forbidden connection begins to grow. For the first time, Hae-jin discovers hope, and Tae-ho begins to question the duty he has sworn to uphold. Desire soon overtakes restraint, but in a country where love itself is a crime, their bond becomes a dangerous secret. When a typhoon strikes the village in Musan, many villagers-including Hae-jin-fail to protect the household portrait of the Great Leader, an offense that lands him in the infamous Camp 14. In defiance of the regime, Tae-ho makes a choice that will brand him a traitor forever-breaking Hae-jin free and sealing both their fates. But in a land ruled by fear, can love truly set them free? Or will their defiance cost them everything, including their lives?
