WORLD & TONE

    •    Setting: Contemporary Bangkok, where the city’s neon modernity sits on top of old spirits, old debts, and old rites.    

    •    World: A Southeast Asian spiritual ecosystem—shrines, talismans, warding rituals, shamans, and hidden “rules”—colliding with everyday urban life.    

    •    Mythic threats: Thai folklore entities (including Pret and Krasue) presented as real, physical, and terrifying—not metaphor.    

    •    Tone: Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally grounded—a supernatural thriller with moments of shock-horror and dread, but always anchored to Mali’s POV.    

    •    Visual language: Grit + beauty—rain sheen, lanterns, smoke, temple gold, alleyway shadows, and city glow (high-contrast, cinematic).  

    •    Action style: Lean, brutal, and practical where possible—spiritual effects used as punctuation for maximum impact.  

    •    Comps / North Star: The Medium + Hereditary dread, with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings-level kinetic moments and The Craft teen mystique.    

WHY THIS WORKS

    •    Fresh lane in global genre: A mythic coming-of-age thriller that blends Thai spiritual horror + modern cinematic action—built to hit both genre fans and international distributors.    

    •    A breakout, female-led engine: Mali is designed as a smart, flawed, spiritually charged teen heroine—YA appeal with real emotional stakes.    

    •    Southeast Asian mythology on-screen (rare, marketable): Pulls directly from Thai folklore (Pret, Krasue, ritual exorcism) with a “hero’s journey” structure that plays worldwide.    

    •    Strong tonal comps buyers instantly understand: **The Medium × Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings × The Craft × Hereditary (plus His House mentioned for tone/texture).    

    •    Franchise-ready on day one: Completed novel + completed screenplay, with clear sequel / expansion potential and TV viability.      

    •    Visually rich, but budget-flexible: Bangkok locations + contained spiritual-horror set pieces + VFX-ready sequences = strong production value without needing a giant budget.    

    •    Clear commercial pathway: Positioned for festivals and premium streamers like Netflix, A24, Shudder, and Thailand partner GDH 559.    

MALI NARONG
Fierce • The last Daughter

•    Fierce, sarcastic, haunted — she doesn’t believe in ghosts… until they start hunting her.  

•    Ancestral visions + vanishing monks shatter her reality; she’s the last in a bloodline meant to keep an ancient evil sealed.  

•    Untrained and unwilling — she has to choose: run… or become the Ninth Daughter. 

CHATCHAI NARONG
Father • Bangkok detective • Lapsed believer

•    Once sworn to protect both the living and the sacred — he buried that past beneath a badge and a bottle.  

•    When the ritual killings hit too close, he’s forced to confront the truth he abandoned.  

•    And the daughter who now carries what he tried to bury.

LITA
Aunt • Spirit keeper • Reluctant mentor

•    Walked away from the Narong legacy — never stopped guarding its secrets.  

•    With the seal weakening and Mali awakening, she must decide whether to reveal the truth… or protect her niece from it. 

 •    Sealed beneath Bangkok by ancestors who feared what he’d become.  

 •    He waits—watching, whispering, feeding on the cracks in the seal.  

 •    The Ninth Daughter is his key… and this time, he won’t be stopped. 

PALIN
The fallen guardian. The name no one says aloud.

•    She once stood between the spirit world and the mortal one—until something broke. The seal failed. Mali’s mother died. Now Pailin lingers at the edge of mirrors and memory: a warning, a witness… or someone much worse.  

THE LEGEND

    •    The Ninth Daughter isn’t a title — it’s a role. A bloodline position that carries a spiritual inheritance… and a target on her back.

    •    A seal was made long ago to contain something that shouldn’t exist in the living world.

    •    Mali is the living “lock.” When she awakens, the myth awakens with her.

    •    Spirits don’t just haunt — they recruit. They push, test, mark, and escalate until the Ninth Daughter either breaks… or becomes.

    •    The enemy wants a breach, not a kill. Deaths and phenomena are part of a ritual logic meant to weaken the boundary.

THE RULES

•    The supernatural follows pattern. Symbols repeat, locations repeat, victims repeat—like a ritual signature you can track.

    •    Belief is fuel—but fear is gasoline. The more the city panics, the stronger the manifestations become.

    •    Protection has a price. Wards, blessings, and counter-rites work, but they cost time, blood, or sacrifice.

    •    The boundary is thin in certain places. Shrines, crossroads, old sites, flooded alleys—where the veil is already compromised.

    •    Power grows in stages. Early signs are whispers/visions → then physical attacks/possession → then full breach if the ritual completes.

Published source material — tone, mythology, and character arc proven.

Mali Narong has always been haunted by her mother’s death. When that mystery resurfaces, Mali follows a trail into forbidden rites and a family truth buried for generations. The deeper she digs, the more the veil thins—until she realizes her bloodline isn’t just cursed… it’s needed.
