Three years after the events of Book One, Raia has finally begun to live peacefully as a young babaylan. The voices of the dead have disappeared, and she believes the terrible events surrounding the First King are finally behind her. But that peace ends when the dead suddenly rise from their graves. A mysterious black shell appears in the river. An eighth symbol begins appearing on Raia's body. Ancient seals begin breaking. And Raia encounters beings older than the gods worshipped by the people of Himalaya. She learns that the world has deliberately forgotten an ancient civilization known as the First World-a civilization that existed before the Seven regions were established and before the spirits became known as gods. At the center of that forgotten history is Amahara, an ancient being who calls Raia her child. Raia eventually discovers the horrifying truth: She was not chosen by the spirits. She was returned to the world. And someone has been preparing for her return for centuries.

Every legend has a shadow. We grew up hearing stories of creatures that lurk in the dark, spirits that wander the earth, and beings that live beyond the world we know. But what if the stories we inherited were never the whole truth? Tales in the Shadows is a collection of short, twisted retellings inspired by Philippine folklore. Each story takes a familiar myth, legend, or creature and looks beyond the fear surrounding it-to the stories, emotions, and truths that may have been forgotten. The monsters may not always be monsters. The spirits may not always be cruel. And the legends may not always belong to the people who told them. Some stories hide pain. Some hide love. Some hide warnings. And some have been waiting in the shadows for someone to finally listen. These are the tales you thought you knew. These are the tales hiding in the shadows.

Sometimes being a fish out of water can be a good thing. Only two things can happen. Either one adapts to the environment or simply peters out from intractability. Enter David Lansing, a half-Filipino call center trainer whose normal life took an unexpected turn when he suddenly woke up and is presented with visions and a spirit guide to boot! Why was he seeing these things? Who is the Guide and what did he want from him? Peppered with appearances like the Tikbalang, Aswang and even the White Lady of Balete Drive, all part of Philippine folklore and urban legend, the story traces David's existential journey of becoming; from his naive acceptance of the world to his burgeoning skepticism, and his acceptance of what his life is and how it could be. And while he’s at it, another Guide presents himself to him, one with a more pragmatic approach and outlook to the world of the supernatural; the same world that David is finally learning to accept and participate in. But who is the better Guide or is he better off trusting his own instincts as he embarks on his journey to find that supernatural promised land; a place where people like him are common and living the most normal of lives; a place that is known only to a few; the magical community of the Dark District. ------- The complete story is part of the Darkest Dreams bundle under #StrangeLit and published under BUQO.

Synopsis: In a hidden realm where the mortal world brushes against the divine, the Academy of the Anitos stands as the bastion where the bloodlines of ancient Philippine gods and goddesses converge. Here, demi-gods and spirits train to master their otherworldly powers and safeguard the balance between worlds. Solren, a seemingly ordinary boy, discovers he is the son of Apolakios, the formidable Solar War God - a lineage that marks him as a key player in an age-old prophecy. Torn between the mortal life he knew and the divine destiny thrust upon him, Solren is thrust into the academy's crucible, where rivalries burn as fiercely as the sun and friendships are tested by shadows lurking in the corners. Alongside allies like Seraya, the gentle yet fierce daughter of Lakathis, goddess of harvest and earth, and Thalios, the enigmatic scion of Bathalor, the supreme celestial deity, Solren must unlock the depths of his power. But ancient darkness, long thought vanquished, stirs once more - threatening to shatter the fragile peace and plunge both realms into chaos. As alliances form and betrayals unfold, Solren must rise beyond his fears, embracing his fiery heritage to challenge fate itself. In the Academy of the Anitos, legends are born - and destinies forged in the flames of gods.

On the peak of Mt. Madjaas, the god of death, Sidapa, watches the sky night after night-his golden eyes never missing the soft glow of Libulan, the gentle god of the moon. In silence and stillness, Sidapa waits... not to take a soul, but to feel one. His love is not loud-it's patient, aching, and eternal. For years, he whispered wishes into the wind, hoping Libulan would hear them. But how can a god of death ever hold something as distant and delicate as the moon? Can a deity born from shadows be loved by one born of light? This is not just a story of gods. This is the story of longing. Of stars yearning for the moon. Of one who waited-and one who glowed. Will the moon ever look back?

Alab, Ruben, and Ami piece together the Marahuyo, the deaths, and the Scourge and finds out one too many secrets that their ancestors left behind.
