FIVE LINES

She was never supposed to survive the ritual.
Seventeen-year-old Mara Santos has always been ordinary. Average grades, average life, average girl from Batangas trying to survive college in Manila. Nothing special. Nothing remarkable.
Until she wakes up in a room that doesn't exist, with five burning lines carved into her wrist - and a boy with smoke for eyes telling her she already died three minutes ago.
His name is Kael. And according to him, the curse destroying her bloodline wasn't placed by an enemy.
It was placed by her.
A version of herself from four hundred years ago.
Now Mara has seven days to find out why her past self did it - and break the seal before every Santos still breathing burns the same way she just did.
The problem? She doesn't remember any of it.
And somewhere inside the fog of Limang-Liwanag, something wearing her face is laughing.
Some curses aren't meant to be broken.
Some are meant to be finished.
FIVE LINES is a Fil-Eng dark fantasy thriller about a girl who becomes the villain of her own past life - and the boy hired to make sure she sees it through.
