But lurking in the shadow of these mountains is a creature from Philippine legend, a bloodthirsty monster called the aswang.Little Nava has always been afraid of the dark. But when night falls, and the pale white moon rises over Iruña, Nava's fear of the unknown will be the least of her worries, for this is the hour that the aswang's hunt begins.Nava, a scared but courageous girl, may muster the will to face the darkness... but she must also face the terror lurking within, a terror that will haunt her to the end of her days.w
