Faikham never asked for it, but she’s forced to inherit the terrifying spirit of Ka from her late mother—a curse that grants unnatural beauty with a lick to the face, but also transforms her into something monstrous. Ka was once Princess Oenglong, a cruel and vengeful woman whose thirst for revenge lingers long after death.

Even in the afterlife, Faikham’s mother remains bound under Ka’s dark influence. Now, Faikham must not only fight to save herself from Ka’s growing control, but also free her mother’s spirit from its grip.

When Faikham is offered a chance to work in the royal palace, she unwittingly opens the door for Princess Oenglong’s revenge to begin—and time is running out.
