[TAGLISH] Andreya has become Mayari, the next Rana of Silang, an alternate Philippines where colonization did not happen and royalty still exists. Her to-be-husband, Raja Agares, is all charming and every bit the image of a perfect man. But their picture-perfect, high-profile marriage is the farthest thing from easy, and forces are at work to tear them--and the country--apart. *** What if, hanggang ngayon, in modern-day Philippines, namumuno pa rin ang mga Raja't Datu sa bansa? Ito ang bumungad kay Andreya nang magbukas ang mga mata niya isang araw. Nagising siya sa katawan ni Mayari, the first Rana (Empress) almost 70 years since ang huling humawak ng korona nito--with a catch. Isang kasal lamang ang namamagitan kay Mayari at ang trono, at ilang buwan na lamang ang natitira bago siya makipag-isang dibdib kay Raja Agares sa isang makasaysayang Wedding of the Century. Ngunit wala na si Mayari--namatay siya sa isang aksidenteng mukhang sinadya. Si Andreyang nasa katawan niya ngayon ang mukhang magtutuloy, ngunit wala siyang halos maalala tungkol sa buhay ng susunod na Rana. Dala-dala lamang niya ang kanyang mga alaala sa buhay niyang nakaraan. Magagawa ba niyang maitawid ang sarili sa komplikadong buhay ng mga Maginoo't Maharaja at makabalik sa dati niyang mundo? Written in Filipino-English (Taglish) Alternate universe, alternate history, slowburn, romance, magical realism. Modern day setting. Rated PG for mature themes.

A FEATURED STORY IN HISTORICAL FICTION HIGHEST RANKING #7 in HISTORICAL FICTION --- Ellie had been undercover for most of her life. She had been a pickpocket for as far as she can remember, under the guise of Elliot. Any memory before the age of ten was blank in her head, with no recollection of how she had ended up under the charge of a gang of street rats as a child. Her life was meant to be mundane, as long as she remained under her secret identity. Until she tried to steal from the wrong pockets that is. --- Fabian Rothesay, the new Duke of Avondale, had spent the last 2 years rebuilding the coffers of his father, in order to ensure that the Avondale estate was not about to crumble around their feet. Taking over his father's spot as the Duke had not been an easy task, but in his doing so for the past 2 years, he has raised as one of the most eligible bachelors of the ton. What the ton doesn't know is that Fabian is biting to return to his previous life. What people believed to be a holiday around the continent, was actually Fabian's cover as he worked as an Agent of the Crown. His new status as a Duke however, did not make him want to step down as an Agent just yet, especially with a recent case that specifically embroils a series of planned heists within the ton. --- As the two are thrown together in a series of circumstances that was mostly chance, sometimes fate, and with a dash of secrecy, how would the turmoil change their lives?
