Two graphic novel superstars join forces in this heartwarming rom-com about fate, family, forgiveness, and lion dancing!
Valentina Tran used to love Valentine's Day. But when she learns the truth behind her parents' separation, she concludes true love is a lie. A ghoulish visage of Saint Valentine appears and promises to protect Val from heartbreak—but only if she gives up on love. Permanently.
Suddenly, cousins Leslie and Jae come roaring into Val’s life—literally. They’re lion dancers, and during one fateful Lunar New Year performance, the lion they’re inside hands Val a paper heart. And in that moment, Val feels . . . something again.
Is that feeling love? Could this be Val's chance to break the family curse? Or is she destined to have a broken heart forever?
