Precolonial Stories

Isang Nobelang Kasaysayan, Pag-ibig, at Paglalakbay sa Panahon Sa pagitan ng mga lumang aklat at alikabok ng isang silid-aklatan sa Intramuros, natagpuan ni Maya Dela Cruz isang 3rd year history student sa Pamantasan ng lungsod ng maynila. Ang isang bagay na matagal nang nilimot ng panahon - isang antigong locket na tila may sariling pintig. Hindi niya alam kung bakit tila hinihila siya ng kwento ng isang babae na burado sa mga tala ng kasaysayan , isang babaeng nilimot ng nakaraan- si Leonora Alonzo. At sa isang iglap ng liwanag at dilim, si Maya ay nahulog sa panahong hindi kanya...sa taong 1896. Dito sa bayang alipin ng dayuhan, sa mga lansangang puno ng lihim, at sa piling ng mga matang hindi niya kilala pero tila matagal nang naghihintay - kailangan niyang mabuhay sa katauhan ng isang babaeng may sariling misyon. Misyon ng puso at Misyon para sa bayan. Magagawa niya kayang maging si leonora? O kaya ay ipapaglaban niya ang kaniyang paniniwala? At paninindigan patungkol sa mga kababaihan? Mababago kaya ni maya ang baluktot na paniniwala? Ngunit sa bawat pintig ng puso at paghakbang sa nakaraan, lalong lumalabo ang hangganan ng katotohanan, panaginip, at kapalaran. Sino si Leonora? Bakit siya dinala ng locket sa panahong ito? At paano kung ang kasaysayang kanyang kinagigiliwan... ay hindi na niya kayang takasan? Isang nobelang sumasalamin sa alaala, paninindigan, at pagibig kung may pagkakataong mahalin muli sa ibang panahon... pipiliin mo ba? Mawawala sa alaala ang anyo ng mga bagay sa pisikal na mundo-maglalaho gaya ng alon sa dalampasigan kapag nilamon ng dagat ang kanyang bakas. Ngunit ang puso... ang puso ang magbubukas ng lihim na pintuan, magtatawid sa atin pabalik sa mga alaala. At doon, sa tahimik na sulok ng gunita, muling lilitaw ang mukha ng taong minsang naging tibok ng ating buhay.- Maya Dela Cruz

Samantha Reyes, a sarcastic Gen Z vlogger, suddenly wakes up in the body of Dayang Mayumi, the daughter of a Datu in pre-colonial Philippines. Instead of beaches and fiestas, she's now dealing with: ⚔️ tribal wars, 🔥 arranged marriage politics, 👩‍🦱 a babaylan who thinks she's possessed, ✨ and a prophecy declaring her the "Diwata" who will change history. With zero survival skills (and a whole lot of sarcasm), Sam must navigate ancient customs, fight off pirates with a walis tingting, and clash with the stoic warrior Lakan Dumagsa-who might just be her greatest enemy... or her forbidden love. Can a modern girl survive a world without WiFi, AC, and bubble tea? Or will she rewrite history with her own version of Girl Power? 🌺 A story of laughter, love, and legacy set in the rich world of pre-colonial Philippines.

What if the story of the Philippines was never one of conquest, but of absolute victory? In a time before the West, the islands are a proud but fractured land of warring kingdoms, bowing to the whims of petty kings and superstitious gods. From this world rises Biran, a warrior-prince with a radical, dangerous idea: a nation without kings, without slaves, and without gods. A republic built on reason and freedom. To build this new world, he must first burn the old one down. His revolution is a brutal "War on Kings," a crusade to tear down every throne in the archipelago. But as he forges his new republic in the fires of war, a new empire arrives from across the sea, threatening to extinguish his dream before it can truly begin. This is the saga of a nation that refused to be colonized. The story of a people who, against all odds, forged their own destiny and became... The Unconquered Sun.
