I'm working on a retelling of the Chinese tale "The Seven Brothers". It is called "Fourth Sister" and deals with a play on words. In Japanese "shi" is both "four" and "death".
Blamed for her twin brother’s death, Shi, the outcast fourth of seven sisters, apprentices herself to a mask maker; but when the local Kazoku accuses the youngest sister of killing his nephew, Shi must lead her sisters in a deception that will either save the youngest or condemn them all.
