Tales of Filios: Secrets of Lagusan

When twenty-one-year-old Ligaya is pulled through a glowing rift called a Lagusan, he wakes up in a place that feels both familiar and foreign, far from his home and everything he has ever known.

Blinded in one eye and haunted by fading memories of his father, Ligaya soon discovers that he can see beyond what normal people can. The moon speaks to him, shadows whisper secrets, and creatures once thought to be myths seem to recognize his name. A mysterious Babaylan tells him his arrival was foretold-that he carries within him the power to restore balance between the human world and the spirit realm.

With his sarcastic owl-cat companion Minggo, Ligaya journeys from the quiet forests of Boraven to Manolias, the capital city of Larantia, where myths have long been forgotten. But when the city finds itself facing forces beyond comprehension, they turn to the one person who can see the truth: Ligaya, a Babaylan.

As Ligaya works to mend the growing rift between mortals and spirits, he becomes caught in the mystery behind the frequent appearance of the Lagusan and the secret hidden within it.

In a world where myths breathe, moonlight guides, and destiny whispers through the trees, Ligaya must uncover who he truly is before the gates between realms open for good.
