Diwata Gonzales is not a believer in magic.
Not in curses, or in mythic gods or bloodlines that have been titled somehow with "carry the sun." She is an archaeologist with a schedule and facts - more at ease carbon-dating ruins than speaking of cosmic destiny.
But when a dig in Maguindanao digs up an ancient dagger that fuses to her hand during a livestream, Diwata's scientific world goes poof - or rather, into golden light.
That's when Adlaw appears.
Handsome, charming and suspiciously glowy, he says he's a celestial warrior fated to her bloodline - as well as to her touch. He is at his most powerful when she's around. His mission? To save her life... and the world from an unthinkable pending doom.
Diwata's problem?
She's too busy for "cosmic destiny." She has grant deadlines, a cat named Artifact and no patience for men who speak in riddles like ancient poetry.
But legends revealed, baybayin symbols light up her skin so she starts to believe in the white stags and golden hawks that haunt her dreams; Adlaw, nosing his way into everything she does, has unleashed a flood of myth and magic on Makiling - and Nina's scientific certainty is weakening.
For in the end, some truths cannot be proved. They can only be believed.

Silver {Book One}
"What of this thief I hear that has hidden themselves in The Lands of Luxury?" I say. Rail lowered his emerald eyes towards the horizon. "Have you thought of my proposal?" Rail asks, avoiding my question. He had asked me many times to become his protector and leave the True One. Of course, I always say no. It pained me to see the hurt in his once peaceful eyes. "You know my answer." I whisper. I lay my hand on top of his. There was always a spark that clouded my mind when I touched Rail. I pull away, dropping my eyes. "This was a wonderful gathering, Rail. Thank you, but I must return to the True One." I begin to light the room with my silverlight overpowering Rail's golden blaze, getting ready to flash. "Wait! Stay to find the thief. Please, Aderes." I'm hovering over the floor. Rail grabs my hand, and the shock brings me back to him. I lower myself and let go of him. "I will stay until the thief is found. Then I must return to the True One's heaven." I try to smile at Rail to calm him. It works. His green eyes linger on me as I walk away from the balcony and return to the gathering. *** After meeting Jay, Sarah's father is killed, which causes her to accidentally tap into unknown powers. Sarah begins to learn the truth about who Aderes is and how Sarah herself is connected to her. But most importantly, she learns who's been lying to her since the beginning.Complete

As shadows rose from the depths of the unknown, bringing chaos and destruction, the brothers were forced to unite their strengths to face a darkness unlike any before.
