THE DARK CIRCLE CLOWN

Everyone in Crescent Hollow knows the rumor..
If you see the clown with the black circles around his eyes... run.

But Y/N doesn't believe in ghost stories. Not until the night she sees him standing at the end of her street tall, silent, pale paint on his face, and two dark circles around his eyes like bruises carved into his skin.

That night changes everything.

The clown, named Ezra, is not what the town thinks he is. He's not a killer. He's not a monster.
He's a boy cursed by a vengeful spirit, forced to appear as a clown every night after midnight.
His mission is to "mark" a chosen person with the Dark Circle, pulling them into the spirit realm.

But when Y/N becomes the next target...
Ezra refuses to hurt her.

From that moment, an ancient curse wakes up, and a jealous supernatural entity begins hunting them both-determined to destroy Y/N and reclaim Ezra forever.

Together, Y/N and Ezra must uncover the truth behind the curse, survive the spirit that wants them dead, and fight the growing feelings between them.

But with every sunrise, Ezra becomes weaker.
And with every midnight, the curse grows stronger.
Saving him might mean losing herself.
