Since Colonial Vigan, the influential and political elite of the city were supported by assassin families called Blades, but to bring an end to that, Victoria Aglaban was told she would be the last of hers.
Fresh from a break up in Manila, Vic returns to her hometown of Vigan to help her father's fledgling B&B and finds comfort in pleasant dreams of a romance in the old Spanish town.
When her ex-boyfriend follows her to Vigan and is suspected of extorting the eldest son of a political family - the man she considers a brother, Vic's dreams begin to darken. She sees herself as a woman named Leona ordered to kill the man she loves, a Spaniard from Nueva España, and Vic fears her reality will demand the same.

The Tales of Tikum Kadlum
In the islands of Vijayas, magic and monsters abound. Here, victory does not come to the strong, nor to the swift, but only to the sly. And Tikum Kadlum might just be the craftiest of them all. A former timawa (warrior-serf) and all-time scoundrel, the man himself is no stranger to the arcane and the mysterious things hidden in the Great Archipelago. He's been through it all, betraying and scamming his way from one adventurous caper to the next. Now, he just wants to return to his hometown with his daughter, Ukok, and live a peaceful life. But things are about to change when the Black Dog starts a cat and mouse chase against Amburukay, the queen of the manghihiwit... Follow Tikum and Ukok journey through the lands of Vijayas and avoid the clutches of a sorceress with a grudge to settle, steal from a powerful babaylan and her bagani sister, slay hungry monsters, fight against bandits, outsmart a cunning foe, escape from a few killers here and there. And perhaps, defeat someone as strong as a demi-god. AUTHOR'S NOTE: This novel is a mash-up of sword and sorcery and dark fantasy set in the Pre-Colonial times of the Philippines long before THE SONGS OF STRIFE story. With excerpts from A Study of Our Baganis by Lamberto Aguilar. Also this will be posted in RoyalRoad under the same username. Disclaimer: Some character names and terms used in the story are taken from the Suguidanon Epics of IloIlo and Panay or from general pre-colonial times. But they are, in no way, accurate representation of the actual characters of the epic chants or exact translations. If you like to read short stories with overarching arcs this one is for you!Complete
