When a scarred young woman finds hope in the warmth of a man who sees beyond her scars, she begins to reclaim her spark-until fate tears them apart. Now, she must choose between embracing the solace within the darkness or chasing the gleam that once led her home-but now threatens to burn her even more. *** Deprived of guidance and support from her parents, Canary Paige Costales stumbled her way through life, barely able to sustain her faint light. But just when her world seemed to be collapsing around her, fate led her to Gideon Yves Alcaranze-a man who became her glimmer of hope and a radiance of warmth. For the first time, she believed she had found her path-a road lit with comfort and love, something she had longed for all her life. Yet, just like the stars, some lights were never meant to shine forever. As her spark finally ignited, the gleam that once guided her slowly withered. Darkness crept back in, yearning to consume her once more. But how will she find her way out? Will she even try to escape, or will she let herself succumb? And if she dares to chase the gleam that leads back to him... Will he still be waiting? **** [PRISM SERIES #1] Genre: General Fiction Status: Ongoing

Sixteen-year-old Nick witnessed a brutal murder, but when he tried to tell what he saw, they didn't believe him. His story sounds too strange, too irrational. His parents, desperate to protect him, suspected he's the killer. They took him to an expert, who diagnosed him with a persecutory delusion - a mental illness where a person believes someone is trying to harm them. But Nick knows the truth. He knows the real killer is someone they would never suspect - a seemingly harmless old man who calls himself "Santa." Convinced Nick was a danger, his parents tried to escape back to the Philippines. Heartbroken by their disbelief, Nick left. His parents were unaware that the real killer had kidnapped him. He soon discovered he was not the only victim. Santa had been abducting children for years, keeping them captive in his dilapidated house-a twisted world of toys, religion, and unspeakable violence. This was Santa's horrifying game, and Nick must escape before he becomes another forgotten toy. STATUS: Completed (Story written in Taglish) #1 in illness
