Underneath the Danao Lake, ancient forces are stirring up, and the fate of one sister will rock the very core of not one, but two universes.

Benjamin and Alina Donaire keep their family's coffee plantation and YouTube channel running from the fabled Camotes Islands. They chronicle traditional farming methods for their expanding audience. It's a place where modern life meets ancient folklore. It wasn't until Alina saw some strange marks in a cave on their land that she learned she was born with the blood of the fabled binukot princess Nagmalitong Yawa.

Splintered into seven parts, dispersed over visible and invisible dimensions, Benjamin watches as his sister's soul, her own essence, shatters right before his eyes. In a Philippines where truth and myth blend, where legendary animals roam the highways alongside jeepneys, and where the mysterious depths of Danao Lake in the Camotes Island conceal long-lost secrets, he must now race against the clock to reach his destination.

Finding his sister's soul fragments is important to Benjamin, but he isn't the only one. Recognizing the binukot's blood in Alina's veins, an ancient force has awakened and will do whatever to seize her power for its own sinister agenda.

In The Last Light, Philippine mythology is interwoven with a modern-day story of fate, family, and those locations where the barriers of modernity crumble to expose the enchantment that has always lain dormant. With riveting suspense and intensely personal stakes, this novel updates Philippine legend for the modern era, making it ideal for those who enjoyed Trese, The Bone Witch, and When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain.

Among The Ruins by RevivalFlower
37 parts Complete
What if the saints of old walked among us today-would we honor their triumphs, or whisper about their secrets? Zarinna knows the weight of hidden truths. Once devoted, now marked by choices she cannot undo, she carries shame like a shadow she cannot shake-and a longing for a God she fears may no longer be there. Then he appears. David Awiyao. No announcements, no fanfare-just a man whose calm presence seems to see through the cracks in her life, whose words stir something she thought buried forever. Grace begins to move where shame once ruled, and questions she dared not ask start to demand answers. Will she retreat into her darkness-or step into a light she never expected?

What just happened?" I ask aloud, shaking my head to dispel the fog clouding it. "Pa?" "Honey!" I called out for my husband. "Paaaa!" I shouted, my voice slicing through the stillness, desperation lacing each syllable. Silence hung in the air, a heavy blanket that muffled the echoes of mundane chores and chatter. A lingering sense of confusion settled in... Wait, where did everyone go? Helloooo! As I rose unsteadily and swept my gaze across the landscape, a chill crept up my spine. Instead of the garden I had imagined myself to be, I found an alien environment that sent my heart racing! I stood right there, shadows lingering around me, as if the world had forgotten to move on without me. A distant animal cry echoes, a reminder that nature thrives in its rawest form. Here, the world feels alive, unrestrained, and fierce. Every rustle of leaves and distant call of a creature echo the raw beauty of a wilderness, shaking me to my core. How the f*ck did I get here? I never left. I was in the same place, but somewhere in another era, at another time.. Enchantment, mysticism, and wonder all come together. Step into a world where the boundaries of the real and the imagined blur as the fabric of time and space intertwine. The Myth of Ayu Indah is about an Aboriginal beauty and her struggles to belong in ancient times; and the other, a contemporary woman who appears to have lost her enchantment while adjusting to life in the country following a recent move. Both are seeking fulfillment in life. Transported to a bygone age through a dream journey that crossed time, where the protagonist unearthed hidden truths that led to her transformative journey of self-discovery. In the end, they both realized that the capacity-the power-to uncover the enduring, awe-inspiring beauty of simply existing and being loved lies within them all along.

In the midst of the mystical realms and magical traditions of Sunda, Cileuncang invites readers into a world brimming with enigmas, mysteries, and the secrets of the supernatural realms of Nusantara. This story revolves around Rangga and Silvi, two souls bound not only by love but also by a great destiny that stretches between the human world and the spiritual dimension. When Rangga becomes trapped in Brekasan, a supernatural realm inhabited by mystical beings such as the Ipri, Danawa, Ririwa, and Bancala, he faces the dual challenge of survival and maintaining the balance between the human and supernatural dimensions. Meanwhile, Silvi, still in the real world, refuses to stand idly by. Driven by profound love and unwavering determination, she devises a grand plan that will change her life forever. The novel unveils the often-overlooked Sundanese mythology, including the legend of Ambar's child playing in puddles during the rain, the Cileuncang chant capable of unveiling supernatural veils, and the intricate connection between humans and the spiritual realm adorned with traditional teachings and religious values. With its narrative rich in cultural elements, Cileuncang is not only a tale of supernatural adventure but also a profound exploration of the traditions and philosophies of the magical and meaningful Sundanese heritage. Can Rangga and Silvi overcome the treacherous challenges of the spiritual realm and reunite their love separated by different dimensions? Or will they be consumed by the whirlwind of mysteries passed down by their ancestors? Unleash your imagination into a world unlike anything you've ever seen before-Cileuncang is a journey into the mesmerizing mystical treasures of Nusantara... *** This work does not get much appreciation in my country.
