Father Matthias, a modern-day priest trained to purge the darkest curses, thought he had seen it all-until the night he faced a malevolent force unlike anything before.
One wrong step, and he is dragged back to 1944, in the midst of the Japanese occupation of the Philippines.
Lost in a time not his own, Matthias stumbles upon a secluded village untouched by war... and at its heart, a lonely shrine.
There, he meets Hisami-a young woman of ethereal beauty, so pure and gentle that even the cruelest gossip dies in her presence.
But the deeper Matthias is drawn to her, the more the truth begins to unravel.
Because Hisami doesn't just live near the shrine.
She lives within it.
And the curse that brought him here... might just be hers.
