Lanterns and Shadows

In an era where a lantern-lit ships from Fujian sailed toward the newly conquered port of Manila, a daring half-Filipina, half-Chinese girl discovers a carved relic hidden in a shipwreck on the night of Chinese New Year. The strange markings point to a vanished trading voyage and to the secret past of her mother. Determined to uncover the truth, she journeys to the Philippines, only to clash with a cold, arrogant young man, the powerful son the King.
