RISE AT DAWN In the ancient heart of Manila, where Spanish colonial walls whisper forgotten secrets, a young historian's life is about to change forever. Anya Reyes thought her psychic visions were just nightmares-until she discovers a silver locket that connects her to a lineage of guardians she never knew existed. When she meets Marco, a mysterious figure with powers mirroring her own, she learns they are the last descendants of an ancient order sworn to protect the innocent. But darkness stirs in the shadows of modern Manila. A sophisticated criminal syndicate preys on the most vulnerable, trafficking human lives and harvesting organs for the black market. As Anya and Marco delve deeper into this web of corruption, they uncover connections that reach into the highest levels of power. Guided by a master of the ancient Filipino martial art of Arnis, they must harness their growing abilities and ancestral wisdom to combat an enemy that operates in plain sight. From the historic streets of Intramuros to the dangerous underworld of Quiapo, they race against time to expose a conspiracy that threatens to consume the city.
