She thought her biggest problem was surviving high school. Then she discovered monsters were real... and one day she might become their queen. In a world obsessed with technology, the supernatural has become nothing more than forgotten folklore. Aswangs, Tikbalangs, Kapres, and other creatures of legend are dismissed as myths from a bygone era. Most people believe monsters no longer exist. They're wrong. Sixteen-year-old Maya Santos is an ordinary high school student trying to survive classes, exams, and her grandfather's endless lectures. But when she becomes caught in a deadly encounter with a real Aswang, her life changes forever. Hidden beneath the streets of Manila is D.A.W.N, a secret organization tasked with protecting humanity from supernatural threats. Armed with an experimental weapon known as A.M.G., they fight a silent war against creatures lurking in the shadows. To Maya's surprise, the A.M.G. doesn't just recognize her. It chooses her. Suddenly thrust into a hidden world of hunters, ancient bloodlines, and forgotten monsters, Maya must balance two impossible lives: Student by day. Hunter by night. But as she grows stronger, disturbing truths begin to surface. A mysterious Aswang watches her from the darkness. Ancient enemies awaken across the Philippines. And buried within Maya's blood is a secret that could change the future of both humans and Aswangs. Because when the time comes, Maya may be forced to make a choice. Remain human. Or become something far more terrifying.
