The Bird That Drinks Tears
The Bird That Drinks Tears (Korean: 눈물을 마시는 새; RR: Nunmureul masineun sae; abbreviated as 눈마새; Nunmasae) is a series of epic high fantasy novels by South Korean author Lee Young-do. The series was first published online in 2002 and in hardback in 2003. The series is set in a world inhabited by four major races: humans, the powerful bird-like Rekon, the flame-wielding Tokkebi, and the reptilian Nhaga. The Nhaga remove their own hearts to grant themselves immortality, and they dominate the southern half of the world. When a Nhaga envoy is dispatched to North, a trio comprising one member of each of the other races is assembled to escort the envoy. However, the original envoy is murdered, and his replacement is an anomaly: a Nhaga who still has a heart, making him much more vulnerable. As the rescue party navigates hostile terrain and centuries of animosity, they must confront their own prejudices and uncover the hidden purpose of their journey, which may determine the fate of the entire world...
