"My name is Aisha, but it might as well be a lie. The island gave me a life, but it couldn't erase the whispers in my blood. A falcon watches me in my dreams, a symbol of a family I never knew, a family whose name is spoken in hushed tones in faraway lands. Manila is just a detour, a chance to learn the language I should have been born speaking, before the real journey begins - a journey into a world where loyalty is paid in blood and secrets are currency."
