Dalawampung taon na ang nakalilipas mula nang huling humalik si Miles sa kanyang ama. Ang tanging bitbit na alaala ng kanyang ina ay ang huling destinasyon nito-ang misteryosong Sitio Tinieblas. Nagtungo roon ang kanyang ama upang asikasuhin ang burol ng kanyang lola, ngunit mula noon, tila nilamon na ito ng lupa at hindi na muling nagbalik.
Sa kanyang paghahanap sa katotohanan, lalakasan ni Miles ang loob na pasukin ang baryong kinalimutan na ng mapa. Ngunit sa kanyang pagdating, hindi lang mga sagot ang kanyang matatagpuan. Makikilala niya si Levi, ang anak ng makapangyarihang Alcalde, na magiging susi niya sa mga lihim ng lugar.
Kasabay ng pagtapak ni Miles sa lupain ng Tinieblas, magsisimulang magparamdam ang isang sinaunang sumpa. Ayon sa propesiya ng mga matatanda, ang muling pagdating ng isang "nawawalang dugo" ang maghuhudyat sa pagbabalik ng walang hanggang kadiliman.
Anong lihim ang itinatago ng mga naninirahan sa Sitio? At ano ang kinalaman ng pagkawala ng kanyang ama sa propesiyang nakatakdang magpabagsak sa langit?
Tunghayan ang isang kuwento ng paghahanap, sakripisyo, at ang nakapanindig-balahibong katotohanan sa likod ng kadiliman.
The third keeper of the Scepter of Novaria is Mary Francis, a daughter of the Merfolk clan. Driven by a desperate need for answers, she leaves the safety of the ocean and sets foot on land for the first time to search for her missing mother.
Her life in the city takes an unexpected turn when she meets Atty. Aljon Vargas, the son of a local man named Mang Alfonso. Aljon agrees to help her navigate the human world and track down her mother's whereabouts, but their path is far from safe.
As Mary Francis digs deeper into the surface world, she finds herself hunted by a dangerous syndicate-the same group that once attempted to take the life of La Fiery. To find her mother, Mary must survive the city's shadows and uncover a dark secret from the past that connects the Merfolk to the world above.
Gabriela's world was defined by the dim lanterns of the brothel and the scent of cheap ale-until the night the shadows took her. Dragged into the suffocating silence of the ancient forest, she was pushed to the very edge of death. But as her breath began to fail, the forest didn't take her life; it offered her a crown.
An enigmatic crone appeared from the mist, pressing a heavy, glowing pendant into Gabriela's palm. It wasn't just jewelry-it was a key. Unknown to Gabriela, she had been touched by Lalahon, the goddess of fire and volcanoes.
The heat that once threatened to consume her now lived within her veins. Reborn from the ashes of her old life, she rose as La Fiery. She is no longer the prey; she is the flame that hunts the darkness, bringing a scorching justice to the oppressed and a blinding light to every woman trapped in the shadows she once called home.
When Mila Connelly found a rare and beautiful Viking sword, she never expected to discover the handsome and mysterious Ulrik Westergaard along with it. After losing themselves in a passionate and steamy adventure, Mila stumbles upon Ulrik's dark secrets, and it isn't until he tries to win back her trust that their love is put to the ultimate test.
Mila soon finds herself in the midst of a world she never knew existed, with unexpected twists and turns around every corner. But danger lurks in the shadows of this new realm, and the unsuspecting couple isn't as safe as they believe. Will their newfound love be enough to protect them from the dangers that await them?
