Little did she know that her life as she knew it would disappear forever, and dark secrets that had been looming in the shadows would soon come to light. Set in an alternate reality 21st century Singapore and Malaysia, this series toes the line between the magical and the mundane. The fantasy of bomohs and shamans, witches and spells are juxtaposed with biting social and cultural commentary about race, class, gender and sex. Disclaimer: heavily inspired by the original Harry Potter series. But this story is not meant for kids. Proceed with caution.
