The Wattys 2021 Winner under Mystery/Thriller category Naglitnaw Series #1 In this book, with a fairytale-like storyline, that will be discovered by Elio in the middle of a forest. There is no golden hair, no thief prince, no castle, no flying lights, but there is a mother and an isolated child, with a dive inside manipulation between truths . . . and lies. ⁂ Elio is a nineteen-year-old boy who loves the risk in everything he does. One of these is befriending a girl he finds in a forest, who greeted him with a knife in her hand and fear on her face. This is not a fairytale, no princess and prince, but it is full of abuse that is not visible to the eye. Language: Filipino Photo by Toni Oprea on Unsplash

Ang pinakamasakit sa buhay ng isang tao ay ang mahusgahan. Lalong lalo na kung galing ang mga maling paghuhusga sa mga taong mahal mo; pamilya... at asawa. Simula palang hindi na ako tanggap ng pamilya ko. I found my happiness in my husband's presence. Nagpakasal ako ng maaga, maaga dahil aalis siya para sa kinabukasan namin. Nagbago ang lahat ng umalis siya. At pagbalik niya... nagbago na ang lahat sa kanya. Hindi dahil mas lalo siyang yumaman, kung 'di dahil kinasusuklaman na niya 'ko. --- This story was based on a true story. -----
