"Sa panaginip, nasaksihan ko ang pagkabayani ng isang mandirigma-si Pepe."
Helen never imagined her life would take an unexpected twist- literally- when she woke up in a different era, wearing a traditional baro't saya. The bustling streets, the imposing walls of Intramuros, and the unfamiliar Spanish language all pointed to one thing: she had traveled back to the Philippines during the Spanish colonization.
Amid the chaos of trying to understand her surreal predicament, Helen crosses paths with a mysterious yet familiar man-none other than Dr. Jose Rizal. Thrust into a whirlwind of danger, deception, and heroism, Helen finds herself caught in a life-threatening mission that tests her courage and beliefs.
As she battles fear and confusion, Helen witnesses Rizal's bravery and selflessness firsthand. But when their lives are placed on the line, Helen must make a choice: fight for survival or risk everything to honor the man who would later be hailed as a national hero.
A dream turned into an adventure, and a fleeting encounter with history becomes a memory that will last forever.
Dive into this gripping time-travel tale filled with heart-pounding suspense, a touch of romance, and a newfound appreciation for the Philippine past. Will Helen wake up to find it was all just a dream-or will she carry the legacy of Rizal with her into the present?
