Ayon sa mga alamat, lingid sa kaalaman ng nakararami, may mga misteryosong nilalang na palihim na namumuhay sa ating mundo. Tinuturing sila ng ilan bilang mga espiritu, may tumatawag din sa kanilang mga tagapagbantay, at mayroon namang iba na sinasamba sila bilang mga diyos. Pero para sa iilang may malalim na kaalaman sa mundong nakakubli sa hiwaga, tinatawag silang "Anito."
Kung ikukuwento mo ito kay Makisig "Maki" Kagiwa, isang 15-anyos na high school student, malamang ay tatawanan ka lang niya. Para sa kanya, ang mga ganitong paniniwala ay makaluma at walang saysay---mga sabi-sabing wala nang lugar sa modernong panahon. Sa isang katulad niya na lumaki sa isang abalang lungsod na puno ng teknolohiya, ang mga alamat ay tila kathang-isip lang.
Pero susubukin ang kanyang paniniwala, dahil siya mismo ang makakaranas ng mga di-maipaliwanag na pangyayari---mga kababalaghan.
Paano kung matuklasan niyang totoo pala ang mga nilalang at halimaw mula sa matagal nang nakalimutang mga kuwento?
Maniniwala ba siya bago mahuli ang lahat?
O tuluyan ba siyang mapapahamak---kasama ang kanyang nakatatandang kapatid---kapag sila'y guluhin ng mga nilalang ng dilim, na may mga lihim na layuning lingid sa kanyang pag-unawa?

This is the Tagalog version of Anito Anarchy, originally written in English. With over 37,000 reads, the story follows Maki Kagiwa, a teenage boy from future Manila, as he navigates a hidden world shrouded in shadows and mystery. Join him as he encounters both friends and foes on his journey---and discovers that the legends of the past are very much real... and that, sometimes, fiction can be even stranger than the reality he once believed in.
Hated by the people she's sworn to protect, dragon rider Neely Lynch searches for her stolen dragon while struggling to control the dark powers inside her.
*****
After the Culling of Naughton -- a horrific slaughter that led to the murder of several dragon riders and the destruction of two separate armies -- Neely Lynch is on the warpath. Unbeknownst to most, Neely and her friends survived the Culling and are determined to reunite with their kidnapped dragons at any cost (even if that means leaving a trail of broken and bloody bodies behind them). But finding her dragon soon becomes the least of her problems when Neely discovers her disappearance after the Culling has only added to her reputation as the infamous Vidalin Rider. Hated and scorned by the people she's sworn to protect, Neely must find a way to prove she's not the villain everyone thinks she is before her dark and deadly powers, which are slowly growing beyond her control, transform her into the very thing she's trying not to be.
[The Rider's Legend can be read as Book 3 in The Rider series, or as a standalone -- but note that it will spoil Book 1 and 2]
