Description
All shy and awkward Diego Domingo wants is peace, quiet, high grades, and maybe get noticed by popular "It" girl Sophia. But what he doesn't count on is falling into a portal into another world with her and his best friend Luis.
In this strange city, magic is real, Natives are oppressed, an aswang rebellion is brewing, and a tyrannical governor-general rules the city with an iron fist. What's more, a mysterious figure from the Philippines' past is leading a city-wide resistance. . .and guarding the secret at the heart of this parallel universe.
Now Diego must find the courage and heart he never knew he had to survive this dangerous new place. Into this maelstrom of danger, intrigue, and wonder, the three friends must find a way back home to Manila--but in doing so, they may change the fate of both their worlds forever.
