Embers of Manila

Spain had been colonizing the Philippine Islands for many generations now. The effects of their rule were not just written in laws, but carved into the lives of the people who suffered beneath them.

Teresa had been advocating against the Spanish government ever since she was a child. With her liberal ideals and quiet involvement in the movement, she had long lived under the watchful eyes of Spanish friars and officials.

But everything changes when she meets a man-
a journalist whose job is to conceal the cruelty of the Spaniards.

Will they guard their secrets and find themselves drawn together,
or will the truth force them to expose one another...
and become each other's greatest enemy?
