Love, death, and ascension.

The adventures of the strongest Lakandian in Kalupaan continue in this second book covering the life of Lam-ang, loosely based on the Ilocano epic, Biag ni Lam-ang.

Lam-ang's story continues several years after he killed the dalaketnon Bumakas and the tragic loss of his anito companion Mangmankik. Our titular hero now has a new companion called Kimat, a former anito of lightning and thunder that merged with a dog's body. Together they rid the jungles and mountain ranges of the Samtoy Nation of all remnants of the dalaketnon and their horde of night creatures.

But the dalaketnon leader Sumarang and his Yawà masters continue to plague the world of men with their dark plots and schemes. Unbeknownst to Lam-ang and Kimat, shadows of a new and old threat are creeping back into their otherwise quaint and peaceful life. Not only must Lam-ang overcome these new threats, but he must also grapple with the fact that he is still not a true Lakandian as he navigates through the complexities of life, love, and acceptance.

With the number of Lakandians steadily increasing over the years and the looming war of the three realms reaching its crescendo, can Lam-ang be the Lakandian that the Poons of Kaluwalhatian need him to be? Or will his own needs and desires ultimately leave him to fall by the wayside as the Kanibusanan finally erupts throughout the mortal realm?
