The Lantern Keeps Score
Where to Watch
Story
Julie Meyer is a divine maiden who spent a hundred and twenty thousand years trapped in a magic lantern because of the Evans family’s greed. Reborn, she finds them exactly as she left them—hungry for more than they deserve. So she gives it to them. Andy Evans wants to be emperor. Drake Evans wants total political power. Ruby Evans wants beauty beyond compare. Julie grants each wish with a smile, then watches as every desire curls back and destroys them from within. The revenge is precise, elegant, and utterly merciless. When the last wish is spent and the lantern finally goes dark, the debt is paid in full.
