Calamity has befallen the Karaguin Kaharian. Shrill shrieks drown festive songs, surges of flame devour the night's veil, and torrents of blades shatter sacred peace. Though the star-woven realm has weathered innumerable storms, a nefarious seed has sprouted, taking root in humanity's sins
An eldritch being slithers in from the beyond. Its forked tongue speaks of unparalleled power, enough to mold the earth and rend the heavens. Power that only It could grant - for a price.
In the midst of the chaos, Tala Maluloy-on and her companions have no choice but to seek refuge. Malevolent forces seek their demise and their deaths as sacrifice. For what purpose? That, she cannot ascertain, but she cannot let them win. Yet, their lives are not the only ones on the line.
Can Tala and her friends purge the nation of this evil?
Or will they watch the world they hold dear crumble?

The Exiled King | ✔
The world plunged into an era of peace, built upon the backs of the last heroes, who protected their realm and then vanished into legend, taking their powers with them. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? As demons once again begin to crawl from the fiery realm of the Abyss, it becomes clear that they are not acting on their own - someone cunning is leading them. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined - where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death.

The Pangilinan Clan-comprising the Pangilinans, Sevillas, Kennedys, and Agoncillos-spend their summer vacation at Laiya Beach, San Juan, Batangas.

What follows is an adventure of cosmic proportions: Topher, his cousins, and a newfound friend are drawn into a cave and an enchanted board game, unleashing the mysterious powers of the Seven Luminaries. Three years later, their dormant powers awaken, leading the group-now known as the Seven Acolytes-to the Peregrine spaceship and its robotic crew. Their journey begins with small acts of heroism but soon escalates into a battle for survival. As foretold by the "Seven Days Prophecy," they must confront legendary Greek monsters to defend their world from the Father of Chaos and his sea monster.

A former timawa (warrior-serf) and all-time scoundrel, the man himself is no stranger to the arcane and the mysterious things hidden in the Great Archipelago. He's been through it all, betraying and scamming his way from one adventurous caper to the next. Now, he just wants to return to his hometown with his daughter, Ukok, and live a peaceful life. But things are about to change when the Black Dog starts a cat and mouse chase against Amburukay, the queen of the manghihiwit... Follow Tikum and Ukok journey through the lands of Vijayas and avoid the clutches of a sorceress with a grudge to settle, steal from a powerful babaylan and her bagani sister, slay hungry monsters, fight against bandits, outsmart a cunning foe, escape from a few killers here and there. And perhaps, defeat someone as strong as a demi-god.

Disclaimer: Some character names and terms used in the story are taken from the Suguidanon Epics of IloIlo and Panay or from general pre-colonial times. But they are, in no way, accurate representation of the actual characters of the epic chants or exact translations.

A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow.
