After completing her nursing training abroad, Laura Rivera returned to the Philippines to pursue her calling to become a nun. During her postulancy, she took over the duties of her fellow nun who disappeared into thin air---a schoolteacher serving a Subanen community. There, she met the tribe, its overseers, and the protector of their village, General Gabriel Suarez.

Along the way, she uncovered her family's hidden past, long-buried truths, the secrecy of those she once trusted, and the unexpected stirrings of falling love.

Unfavored by harsh fate, Hyena Aji Artiaga paves through her world with no one to depend on. Her parents left . . . only for her to become one. She was ushered to a weighted responsibility. A hefty load enforced to carry all by herself. It was a total twist in the wind, a helpless grope in the pitch black void, a dry smile on a desert. Every breath was desperate effort, as if living is like lying on her own death bed. Whilst, in a night where the darkness dominates, there'll always be the glowing moonrays. The one that radiates things around. The one that shines to pathways. The one that helps night vision. It was the hand she didn't know would give her a grip. The bulb she didn't expect to light her night up. To help her get up, lift the loads, and alleviate her every breath. She thought she had it. That she finally had claimed it. But then, life often really proves: wherever there light is, shadow also there is. Because just like the moon phasing, Cole Kashiro Ferrari was also the thing she'd never expected to bring shadows over her nightlights again. (Written through English & Tagalog.)
