Maisie Summerton has been living as doormat her entire life. Her bullies give her hell. The teachers take advantage of her kindness. And her family is too preoccupied with their own problems to notice her struggles. The only ones who seem to understand her, are her friends, who push her to stand up for herself. Being brave isn't Maisie's strong suit... but all of that is about to change. When her estranged grandfather dies, he leaves her family with a mysterious box, which supposedly holds a cursed object inside. Her mother, who grew up listening to scary stories about it, refused to let them open it. Instead, Maisie's parents got rid of the box before instantly resuming their normal lives - as if the box had never existed. So, it was a surprise when the box reappeared in front of her younger sister, Kara. And it was an even greater shock to watch as Kara opened it. Forced to make a rash decision in order to save her sister, Maisie's life is turned upside down when she finds herself to be the newest host of the curse. Now she's forced to wield a terrible power she doesn't want, all while being constantly nagged by a strange sidekick named Crow. But as she realizes that her power can save people, Maisie learns to stand up for herself and begins seeing her curse as a blessing. Growing confident in her abilities, she takes on the alias "Misery" and vows to complete her heinous mission in a way that is beneficial to society. But many obstacles quickly begin to block her way, and she learns that she isn't the only cursed host in the world. And many of them seek the power she holds. What's worse, Crow cautions her that a hero, bred to kill them all, will come after them soon. Faced with numerous challenges, all while trying to juggle her normal life, Maisie begins to question if blessing really can be born from curses.…
