In a world where danger lurks behind every corner, orphan Mai and her best friend and roo, Suriya, are forced to make difficult choices to survive. The pair of adventurous rogues spend their days searching for valuable artifacts to help feed their fellow orphans in a nearby monastery.

Four heirs are dead. One remains. And the crows have finally found their own. In Jakarta, the children of powerful families are dying-quietly, impossibly, and without witnesses. No suspects. No rumors. Just "accidents" too precise to be coincidence. Adi Surya Wijaya was never meant to be the last one standing, but as the deaths mount, the rational world he trusted begins to unravel. Crows gather where they shouldn't. Old houses grow heavy with a malevolent presence. A ritual keris trembles in its sheath. To survive, Adi must rely on Irfan "Laks" Kusuma-an investigator bound by rigid discipline and a life lived at arm's length. Laks is everything Adi is not: cold, calculating, and far too familiar with the shadows. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the tension between them simmers beneath every unspoken glance and restrained touch. From the neon streets of Jakarta to the mist-shrouded temples of Central Java, they are pulled into a world where myths linger and the ground remembers every drop of blood spilled. Adi and Laks must uncover the truth behind the Orde Gagak before the curse claims its final sacrifice. Orde Gagak is a dark urban fantasy steeped in Southeast Asian folklore, blending supernatural mystery with a slow-burn M/M romance. It is a story of inheritance, belief, and the quiet pull between two men standing on the edge of the old world. Note to Readers: This version of Orde Gagak is a sample of the completed story. If you've enjoyed walking through the shadows with Adi and Laks, you can find the full, finished novella on Google Play Books.
