It all started when Isaiah Santos uncovers a diary in the Filipiniana Library. The diary is old and most of the entries are written by Sinukuan which later on he found out that it was one of the many aliases of a known Filipino Hero – the great Andres Bonifacio.

In the diary, it reveals a secret about a girl whom Andres was seeing during the time of the uprising. Some of the Katipuneros called her a fierce warrior but the mason wives during the Spanish colonial era loathed her.

Who is she? And what is the role that she portrayed in the war?

Valeria is not an ordinary girl, she is an immortal. She belongs to a tribe that lives in an unknown Island that soon to be known as Isla Filipinas. But what is she? And how did she survive all through the years?
When Isaiah started his blog about Valeria, the blogosphere went into a frenzy. All historians in the country called him a fraud while others considered his theory about Valeria as fiction. Thanks to his best friend Albert who’s there to support him at the same time helped him put up the site.
But everything changes when Isaiah received a message from Valeria herself stating that she wanted to meet him.

In a quaint ambience of Café Xocolat, a diner next to the Avenue, surrounded by customers of mostly college students, young professionals and professors, Valeria is sitting near the balcony waiting for the blogger to come – ready to tell her tale.

The book is a Filipino urban fantasy, a short story about friendship and about a young man’s journey as he uncovers a great secret hidden in the pages of history books.
