Carved in Time
"Safety codes totally left the chat, gurl!"
Alia Paloma is a licensed 21st-century architect who never expected a heritage site inspection in Colon Street to literally send her four centuries into the past.
Now stuck in Spanish-era Cebu with no Wi-Fi, no aircon, and pretending to be a pipi cousin, her only hope is Don Noah San Lorenzo---a stoic maestro secretly running an underground school for katutubo children.
To Noah, Alia is a loud, strange woman who speaks "demon language" called English. To Alia, his secret school is a structural disaster waiting to happen.
As they build a hidden escape tunnel together, unexpected feelings begin to take root.
But with a lunar eclipse approaching and her chance to return to 2026 running out, can a love that crossed four centuries survive a fate that was never meant to happen?
