Cursed Blood: The Price of Being Different
In the Owens family, magic isn't just a gift-it's a burden. For generations, they've lived under a devastating curse: anyone who falls in love with them is doomed to an early death. This supernatural inheritance shapes the lives of siblings Franny, Jet, and Vincent as they come of age in 1960s New York. When two young men commit suicide after falling hopelessly in love with the beautiful Jet-one throwing himself before a train, another drowning himself with iron bars tied to his legs-the sisters retreat to their attic sanctuary. Under moonlight, they make a solemn vow: they will never fall in love. But fate has other plans. The siblings spend summers with their Aunt Isabelle in Massachusetts, where they begin to understand their magical heritage. "Don't hide who you truly are," Isabelle advises after offering them a choice between tea labeled "courage" or "caution"-both containing the same brew. This simple lesson becomes their first rule of magic: authenticity above all else. Yet as they return to Manhattan, the scent of love hangs in the air, foreshadowing the impossible choices that await them.
