SANCTUARIO SERIES 1 (UNEDITED) It has been twenty years since a dam 'accident' flooded the whole town of Sanctuario del Mar. To the rest of the world, it is just a forgotten tragedy-a town lost under the water. But for Niamh Salvatierra, that was the night she lost everyone she loved. Dahil sa tindi ng tagtuyot, muling 'lumuwa' ang bayan mula sa ilalim ng tubig. Bumalik si Niamh para sa isang bagay lang: ang mahanap ang mga labi ng pamilya niya at ang katotohanang pilit ibinaon sa ilalim. But Sanctuario is not the town she grew up in anymore; it is now the kingdom of Silas Feral. Sa bawat hakbang ni Niamh sa putikan, tila mas humihigpit ang hawak sa kaniya ng lalaking sadyang nag-abang sa kanyang pagbabalik. He didn't just wait for the water to recede; he waited for her to have nowhere else to run. Sa gitna ng mga guhong saksi sa kanilang nakaraan, mapagtatanto ni Niamh na ang pagkalunod ay hindi lang pala nangyayari sa tubig-minsan, nangyayari ito sa mga bisig ng isang halimaw. Will she find the answers she's looking for, or will she just end up drowning in the arms of a man who will never let her leave? Date started: February 24, 2026 Date ended: April 25, 2026
