wak wak aswang

In the mountain villages of Panay, where mist clings to rice terraces like ghostly hands, the aswang are not mere monsters—they are the bridge between mortal flesh and spiritual power. Miguel dela Cruz was born under a blood moon, marked with a dark birthmark shaped like a bat’s wing on his shoulder. His grandmother, the village’s last manghihilot, whispered that he carried the blood of both humans and the ancient aswang line—a lineage cursed to feed on life force, yet blessed with the ability to cultivate that energy into divine power.

When one morning a little girl is found lifeless on the shores of Lake Brook with her insides torn apart and missing, Joshua Dawson and Aidan Reid only have until the next full moon to prevent the killer monster from searching for its second victim.
