A princess in search of her past. A boy driven by money. A crew that is loyal to the end. Princess Ria is adopted, and she has lived with the acceptance that she will never know her real parents. But when she learns of the existence of her adoption document that was kept hidden from her all her life, the desire to know her past is triggered. She is determined to get her hands on it and she sets off on an adventure aboard the Opal with her childhood friend--an army lieutenant--and a crew of cunning sea drifters. She hires this group to plan and execute a heist to retrieve the document, but when she obtains it, she finds more than what she is looking for--something that can root doubt in the people of the kingdom and threaten her brother's throne. On her journey, she works with Gin, a sea drifter and a concresi--one with the ability to influence tangible non-living materials. For years, he has worked on grand thievery jobs, gaining a reputation for the Opal. He is a skilled dredger, and undefeated in coin dives. Despite his past, he is strong minded but bad history had its way of sowing cynicism in him. He cares about money and his crewmates, nothing more. To him, the rich are all the same selfish and egocentric people, and he sees Ria as one of them. Ria and Gin don't trust each other but when plans go awry, they are forced to set aside their differences to survive. Running for their lives across the Kingdom of the Draga Isles, a friendship grows between them and blooms into a forbidden passion that neither of them has expected. * * Inspired by the Bajau (sea nomads) in the Philippines. * Completed Draft 0 * #Romantasy #Fantasy #Steampunk #Romance #Adventure #YoungAdult #Action * #20 in #FantasyRomance (out of 23K stories) (04/30/23) #2 in #FilipinoAuthor (05/29/23) #12 in #Filipino (07/09/23) #3 in #Steampunk (05/28/23) #16 in #Heist (05/27/23) #10 in #Gypsy (05/27/23)

Ito'y nabulabog no'ng hinabol siya ng isang nilalang na kawangis ng butiki at may pakpak na katulad ng paniki. Sa kabutihang-palad, sumaklolo sa kanya ang isang salamangkero; pinatalon siya sa asul na tubig at dinala siya sa harapan ng kagubatang may sakit. Siya'y napadpad sa "Kahadras," ang katakot-katakot na mundong nilikha ni Kaptan para sa ibang mortal, mga diyos at diyosa ng Kabisayaan, at mga kakatwang nilalang na akala ng lahat ay pawang kathang-isip lamang.

In a world where suffering reigns, an entity named Pain Reaper exists to grant humans' wishes to forget and to move on. Her service is perfect and simple: She'll take away all the cursed emotions her clients have and in return, they must surrender their precious memories to her. In Aurora's long journey as the Pain Reaper, she met many humans who are stuck with dreadful cases who think her service is their salvation. Contrarily, Aurora only saw them as her fodder to prolong her stay in the mortal world while searching for the human who summoned her in the first place. However, when the truth finally revealed itself from the cracks of reality, Aurora had no choice but to face the battle she started years ago. For the Pain Reaper...is a victim herself.
