When fifteen-year-old Elais returns to his ancestral village after the death of his enigmatic grandmother-known to some as healer, to others as witch-he is drawn into a world where beauty is a curse, and innocence is bait.

As ancient forces awaken-creatures that hunger for purity and sing in saltwater dreams-Elais is lured deeper into a web of folklore, desire, and transformation. But not everything that whispers his name in the dark wishes him harm... some just want him to remember who, or what, he truly is. A coming-of-age gothic fantasy drenched in Philippine myth, The Luring of Elais is a tale of beauty, danger, and the ghosts we carry in our blood.
