BLOOD INSTINCTS (Nights Chosen Ones)

Synopsis :

Xinzu Celestial just wanted a normal life.

At seventeen, his biggest worries were exams, college, and surviving high school.

But everything changes when his brother drags him to Linlang Forest, a forgotten place deep in the Philippines where maps fade, signals disappear.

The villagers whisper the same warning:

"Don't enter the forest."

They say the abandoned village inside is cursed.

They say monsters roam beneath the moon.

They say those who enter... never return.

But when Xinzu becomes trapped inside the forest, the rumors become reality.

Glowing eyes in the dark.

Howls under a blood-red moon.

And a terrifying truth-

The creatures of the forest aren't the only monsters hiding there.

Because something ancient is awakening inside Xinzu...

And the monsters already recognize him.
