Thorns of Dominion

Chronicles of the Coven 1:

During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, the line between humanity and horror was shattered. Beneath the chaos of war, an ancient darkness awakened-one that fed on blood, vengeance, and silence. As the empire tightens its grip and the cries of the forgotten echo through burned villages and broken homes, creatures once bound to myth begin to rise. Amid secret factions and shifting loyalties, a war brews in the shadows-one not just for survival, but for power over all. In this world, monsters wear many faces, and not all of them have fangs.
