Ethereal Love: A Heavenly Battle for the Heart
Michael, a fierce archangel from a distant realm, is sent to the Philippines by the powerful deity Bathala to protect Sophia, a human girl with a destiny that will shape the fate of the world. Michael finds himself captivated by Sophia's beauty and grace, and a forbidden love blossoms between them. But their love is tested when Sophia is possessed by the Dark Empress, an ancient entity determined to bring destruction and chaos to the world.
To save Sophia and the world from the Dark Empress, Michael must venture into the unknown and call upon the help of legendary creatures from Philippine folklore, including the powerful amihan, a bird spirit that controls the winds, the enigmatic sirena, a mermaid that can manipulate water, and the mighty Bernardo Carpio, a warrior who can move mountains.
As Michael battles against the forces of darkness, he also grapples with his own inner demons, including the guilt he feels for the death of his former lover, an angel who was killed by the Dark Empress. He struggles to reconcile his love for Sophia with his duty to protect humanity, all while facing treacherous adversaries, such as the mangkukulam, witches who can cast spells on unsuspecting victims, and the tikbalang, half-man, half-horse creatures that lure travelers off course.
In a world where mysticism and magic collide, Michael and Sophia must face the ultimate test of their love, battling against evil and fighting for the greater good. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles thrown their way, or will they be forced to make a sacrifice that will change their lives forever?
With its unique blend of action, romance, and Philippine folklore, this novel takes readers on a thrilling adventure that will keep them on the edge of their seats until the very end.
