Deep in the untamed forests of Balamban, sixteen-year-old Arden trains under the watchful eye of his master, Lolo Lando, a retired soldier turned albularyo. Between lessons in healing, cryptic wisdom about balance, and grueling Arnis practice, Arden's life seems destined to remain within the forest's embrace.
But destiny rarely waits for readiness.
When Lolo Lando hands Arden a mysterious Tarot card-The Fool-and speaks of an ancient chaos brewing beyond the trees, Arden's world is irrevocably changed. Tasked with finding the Arcana to restore balance to the Tarot World, Arden must leave behind the only home he's ever known and face an unfamiliar world of danger, magic, and secrets.
Arden's first steps into the unknown set the tone for a journey unlike any other-one filled with Philippine folklore, battles against legendary creatures, and the discovery of his role in a larger prophecy. Along the way, he'll meet allies and enemies, unravel the mysteries of the Arcana, and learn that courage is not the absence of fear but the strength to act despite it.
