Eilean Harris left her hometown with nothing but a packed bag, a handful of bad decisions, and the conviction she'd never come back. But addiction has a way of stripping you down to the bone - and when rock bottom finds her in a pharmacy aisle, she has no choice but to return to the place she swore she'd never see again. Now back in the sharp-edged quiet of Gunchapel, Lynn's sleeping under the same ceiling she once stared at as a teenager, navigating the ghosts of who she used to be: the best friend she betrayed, the boy who couldn't save her, and the mother she's still learning how to talk to. Told in intimate, razor-clean prose, Gunchapel Edge is a daring story about recovery and reckoning, memory and mess, and what it really means to come home - not to the place, but to yourself.

Hindi laging pasulong ang galaw ng oras. Minsan, ito'y yumuyuko-tahimik, na para bang bulong ng isang alaala, o bigla, na para bang bitak sa salamin. Hindi sinasadya ni Olivia na makapasok sa nakaraan. Ang tanging hawak niya lamang ay isang lumang relikaryong minana mula sa kanyang lola-isang pamanang-bayani ng pamilya, kasabay ng mga kuwentong kalahating naikuwento at mga lihim na kalahating nalimutan. Ngunit nang makarating siya sa lumang bahay na bato ng kanyang lola-isang sinaunang tahanang nakatago sa pagitan ng katahimikan at kasaysayan-natuklasan niyang may naghihintay doon: isang salamin. Hindi basta salamin. Ito'y humuhuni ng kung anong mas malalim. Mas matanda. At sa pamamagitan nito, nakita niya si Kael. Isang binata mula sa ibang panahon. Isang binatang may rebolusyon sa kanyang dugo, lungkot sa kanyang mga mata-gapos ng tungkulin, pinilas ng mga lihim, at ngayo'y... kung paano man, nakatali sa kanya. Sa mundong ang nakaraan ay humuhuni nang napakalakas at ang kasalukuyan ay tila humihinto sa paghinga, kinakailangang alamin ni Olivia ang hiwaga ng salamin at tuklasin kung bakit pinagtagni ang kanilang mga kapalaran sa kabila ng mga siglo. Ito'y kuwento ng repleksiyon at paglaban. Ng pag-ibig at katotohanang hinahanap sa mundong nais nang lumimot. Ito ang Palindromo-kung saan ang oras ay yumuyupi, at ang puso'y muling nakakaalala.

It is 1942, and Manila lies under Japanese occupation. A single torn page from a mysterious ledger pulls Kenjiro into a dangerous hunt through the city's war-torn streets - a trail of whispers leading to Kuta Malaya, a hidden stronghold in the heart of Tondo, ruled by rogue soldiers and unseen hands. But every step closer brings more questions than answers. Who is the shadow that stalks him through the marketplaces of Binondo? What secret is worth killing for inside Kuta Malaya's guarded walls? And why does the name "Kazumichi Matsuda" burn like an old wound that refuses to heal? As alliances fracture and ambition turns brothers-in-arms into executioners, Kenjiro finds himself caught between two deadly masters: the ruthless General obsessed with an immortal legacy, and the elusive Iñigo - a ghost from the past whose name is spoken in defiance and fear. The deeper Kenjiro delves, the more the war becomes a mirror of himself - forcing him to choose between survival, truth, and the thin line of honor he still clings to. From the alleys of Intramuros to the shadows of Kuta Malaya, What Survived Beyond 1897 is a tale of loyalty and betrayal, of weapons both steel and silent, and of the quiet battles fought long after the gunfire fades.
