Burning Sky

The sky was burning—then, and now. In a world where truth is currency and silence is power, Amara Velasquez has learned to speak loudly. As one of the rising names in Philippine broadcast journalism, she built her reputation chasing stories others dared not touch. But when she accepts a documentary assignment on forgotten wartime heroes, she never expected the past to reach out and pull her in. One moment, she’s standing in the ruins of history. The next, she’s living it—trapped in the 1940s as Maria Isabella Dela Cruz, a noblewoman caught in the web of a family built on reputation and ruined by secrets. In the heart of a country burning under Japanese occupation, Amara meets Captain Elias Silang, a soldier who chose resistance over surrender, loyalty over safety. As battles rage both outside and within, the two must fight for survival, truth, and a fragile love born in a time not their own. But war doesn’t spare the innocent, and time doesn't easily let go. To return home, Amara must unravel Isa’s truths, survive betrayal, and decide how much of herself she’s willing to leave behind—beneath the burning sky.
