Night. Dawn. It blurs in Ligaya's mind when she loses her mother. Now? She's tasked to be the next warrior of the manananggal coven.
And when in pursuit of fate? Fate chases you back. Isabela is the princess of the sirena kingdom. Disillusioned. Voiceless.
When one meets the other, everyone else is pulled within. Like a black hole.

"What Drowns Her" is set in the year 1902, when liberation was for no one, in an alternate universe where monsters are real-- human or not. A commentary in a creative lens on patriarchy, colonialism, and an "anthology" of women who continuously suffer in this omnipresent system.
