    About this series

    The war of the three realms begins here…

     

    In the heart of the Samtoy Nation during the pre-colonial era of Philippine history, the world of Filipino heroes, deities and mythological monsters collide in an ambitious re-telling of a classic Filipino epic.

     

    Our story begins with Namongan, a healer and midwife from an isolated village in the Ilocos Region who discovers that she is destined to bear a child blessed by the Poon deities. This child is Lam-ang and he is the first Lakandian. Maturing at a rate unheard of amongst mere mortals, Lam-ang also possesses the strength of a hundred men and was trained to be the greatest warrior for good the mortal realm has ever seen.

     

    Together with Mangmankik, an anito spirit assigned to look after him by the Poons, Lam-ang sets out on a quest to find the missing pieces of the Gayaman Amulet and rescue his father who was abducted by the insidious night creatures on the night that he was born.

     

    This book covers the first half of the life of Lam-ang, derived from the Ilocano epic Biag ni Lam-ang. The story follows the adventures of our hero as he uncovers the truth about himself as well as the truth about his role in the war between the forces of good and evil that threatens not just the fate of the world of men but all the realms of the spirit world as well.

      The next Lakandian is here…   Somewhere in the Mountain Province amongst the Ga'dang tribes, lies the highland town of Nabbobawan. It's in this particular barangay where our story of the Ga'dang epic hero Lumalindaw begins. As is true with all Lakandians, he is but a few years young and a child at heart, but his physique is that of a full-grown man. He has already embraced his role as Lakandian and has been revered as the champion of many tribes and peoples across the Cagayan Valley. Lumalindaw is imbued with the power to summon The Voice of Nanolay, giving him the ability to be heard through vast distances and across the dense jungles and staggering mountains. Its intensity can kill birds in the sky or knock down trees with a word.   But destiny awaits him in another barangay where he must face a powerful dalaketnon, a creature of darkness and evil. And in this fateful meeting, he will come face to face with his personal realities as his test of strength intersects with the growing challenges of his evolving character.   Accompanying him in this adventure is Kidul, an anito trapped inside an enchanted ayoding, more commonly known as a zither, who helps Lumalindaw navigate his adventures as he, the young warrior is slowly coming into his own. Through these mythical exploits, Lumalindaw will learn what it means to be a man worthy of life, love, and the honor of being a true Lakandian.
