The Bathala Games

Michelle Macabebe dreams of adventure outside their island, Luna Asul. For that, she must survive the boredom in high school until she leaves for the university. However, the adventure she seeks comes early against her will, when a talking fat cat chooses her for an out-of-this world (literally) and suspicious competition.

Bickering deities, (not-so) gentle giants, a moon-eating dragon, and overworked gods—all the forgotten stories from her childhood had come to life. As Chi navigates the land of gods and Neithers, and finishes the missions, competing with four other contestants (who had issues of their own), her real-life problems are piling up; from a strict mother to a one-sided crush, and a secret that broke her heart, and potentially, her brother and best friend as well.

Then there’s also a supernatural rebellion of the Neithers in the lower realms, waiting to happen.

Amidst her confusion and search for meaning in all that’s happening, will Chi find the answers she seeks on this journey?

Ahn Love

A dreamy romp, Ahn Love opens with Margaret visiting her widowed father Sam Ahn for his ninetieth birthday. His crippling loneliness – marked by a conviction that if his orchids ever bloom, his wife will come back to life – transports Margaret to the Ahns’ seven-day cruise across the Pacific in the summer of ’69 when she was a lovesick teen nicknamed Monkey, when her beloved if not servile Uncle Bong betrayed the family, and when her beautiful mother’s encounter with a Brazilian playboy ultimately charted her death a decade later.

Like the seas, the journey had its highs and lows. It was magic, tragic, exotic and erotic – all things new to Margaret, including her romance with the dashing Adam Kang, a young Korean Brit who loved her but hated himself as the two sailed through a whole courtship as if ship years were measured in hours. Indeed, clocked love and lost paradise lay the seeds of Ahn Love.

The Dawn of Reckoning

However, they soon find themselves in different dangerous situations as they contend with forces out of their control and learn that their enemies—and even reluctant allies—have access to power beyond their wildest imagination.

With time ticking, old secrets resurfacing, and the past and present unravelling right in front of their eyes, will they be able to convince everyone to put aside their differences to eliminate ExA? Or will all that they’ve done come to naught because peace comes at a cost that none can pay?

She Who Devours

21-year old Maya Halili is determined to secure her spot as a full-time faculty member at the National University of the Seven Islands, the most prestigious academic institution in the country. She’ll do absolutely anything, including run errands for her beloved adviser, Dr. Manalo, and butt heads with her long-time rival, the aggravating and handsome Aga Kaneko. But with a series of mysterious disappearances plaguing the city of Santa Teresita and the Astyrian forces tightening their grip on her people, Maya’s carefully constructed world of academics and ambition crumbles when the spirits of the Seven Islands draw her into a secret society known as The Hand of Kaylahon, a group of shamans that can call down the gods and allow them to use their bodies as vessels – for better or for worse.

When an ancient evil awakens and threatens to plunge their world into eternal darkness, The Hand of Kaylahon desperately tries to convince Maya to accept the spirits’ call and fight by their side. Maya must confront the deadly secrets of her past and navigate a treacherous landscape filled with shamans, monsters, and political forces that threaten to engulf the Seven Islands in a war of humans and spirits alike. She must make an impossible choice: choose the quiet, academic life of her dreams or embrace her destiny, join the battle and save the world.

Her decision will not only determine the survival of the Seven Islands, but the future of humanity itself.
