The Face Painter's Curse

Born under the Ghost Festival's shadow with a pure yin destiny, July was marked from birth as a jinx destined to destroy her family. Orphaned at seven, she discovers her grandmother harbors a terrifying secret: as the seventh-generation heir of the Chai family, she wields an ancient art that defies death itself—painting faces on the living to seal their doom, and on the dead to resurrect them. Now, to break the curse that haunts her bloodline, July must master this forbidden power and walk the razor's edge between life and death.
