(Tagalog) María Laya Ysabeya Tuason feels trapped. Everyone calls her Malaya, but freedom is the one thing she's never truly known. Her world ends at the garden walls of her ancestral home, and she is never allowed to leave unaccompanied-always under the watchful eye of Kamalayan, or Layan, her childhood companion and, according to their mothers, her future husband. Their names-Malaya and Kamalayan-were chosen together like matching puzzle pieces. A sweet tradition, people say. A blessing from the wombs of women who once danced barefoot beneath the moon. But what once seemed innocent now feels like a curse. Layan has loved her since they were children. When they turned thirteen, he began courting her with the quiet faith of someone who believes in fate-and who never questions what fate costs. Everyone else sees a perfect match. Two names. Two souls. One legacy. But Malaya feels less like a chosen one and more like a vessel-something preserved, watched, and shaped for a purpose she didn't agree to. The days blur. The air thickens. Her own name tastes bitter on her tongue. Can she survive pre-colonial Philippines?

In the quiet town of Luna Vista, there's an old saying: when it rains during summer, something unforgettable is bound to happen-whether it's beautiful or not. In a cozy coffee shop where the rain always seemed to follow them, something quietly bloomed. It grew with the scent of old books and warm drinks. Like summer itself, brief yet unforgettable, some moments are not meant to be planned but only felt. What began as ordinary days slowly turned into something they never expected. When unexpected rain started to fall, so did things they never prepared for: glances that linger too long, feelings left unspoken, and memories that would never fade. Airielle has always been afraid of being alone, not because she doesn't enjoy the silence, but because of the weight that comes with it. Growing up with wounds she never fully spoke about, she learned to keep her walls high and her heart guarded. But what happens when, during one unexpected summer rain, she's forced to let go of everything she tried so hard to hold on to? Including him. Will she find the courage to face the storm inside her? Or will she have to forget that summer rain they didn't expect just to finally begin healing? Because sometimes, it's the unexpected rain that leaves the deepest mark.

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
