Manila Nocturne
Set in late 1970s Manila, during the so-called "Golden Age of the Philippines," the story unfolds against the backdrop of a nation under martial law-where fear, power, and silence dictate the streets. Detective Torres is no stranger to the darkness that lurks beneath the city's neon glow. But when a routine missing persons case unravels into something far more sinister, he finds himself entangled in a web of political conspiracies, underground resistance, and buried secrets that those in power would kill to keep hidden. As Torres follows the trail of a disappeared family, he crosses paths with ruthless government agents, ex-rebels, and shadowy informants-each with their own agenda. With time running out and danger closing in, he must navigate a city where loyalty is fleeting, truth is dangerous, and justice is a luxury few can afford. But in a world where the law serves only those who wield it, how far is he willing to go for the truth? And what price will he pay to uncover it?

Decades after modified radiation bombs decimated the earth, the survivors of New Australia live in fractured Zones-regions ruled by scarcity, controlled by gangs, and governed by fear.

By night, she's Viper-a deadly ghost in the underworld, wanted for assassination. Vi has only one goal: escape Lake Darling and disappear. For good this time. But when the military storms the RedZone and abducts everyone under twenty-eight, her plan shatters. Imprisoned in a Reproduction Facility-where survival means obedience-Vi must conceal her identity from the enemy. Worse, her cellmate is the gangster responsible for her brother's disappearance. With enemies on every side, secrets buried deeper than the fallout, and a rebellion brewing in the blood-soaked cracks of the system, Vi has a choice: stay hidden, or burn it all down. ...
