BLOOD PRAYER BEFORE DEATH

In the smoke-choked nation of Lusena, survival is the only dream the poor are allowed to have.

Juan Barrion Veyra is no hero-just a factory worker, a gambler, and a man running from his past. When a failed heist unleashes a brutal manhunt across the city, Juan is dragged into a war he never chose, crossing paths with Dahlia Soleyna, a dangerous thief hiding secrets of her own. As gangs hunt, corporations tighten their grip, and soldiers turn streets into graves, something ancient begins to stir-something that should never have been found.

Bound by fear, loss, and impossible choices, Juan and Dahlia are forced to fight not just the world closing in on them, but the slow corrosion of who they are becoming. Power whispers. Loyalty fractures. Love becomes both a weapon and a weakness.

Blood Prayer Before Death is a dark Filipino-inspired steampunk fantasy about revolution, betrayal, and the terrifying cost of power-where survival demands sacrifice, and the line between hero and monster is written in blood.

Because in Lusena, you don't pray for life.
You pray before death.
