Echoes of a Giant’s Heart
Unraveling Bohol’s Greatest Mystery
When Gabriel, Simon, and Elias receive a mysterious invitation to explore the lush island of Bohol, they expect little more than scenic views and another adventure for their growing archive of stories. But hidden among the Chocolate Hills lies a secret far older—and far more tragic—than they ever imagined.
Drawn by whispers of an ancient love story between a human and a diwata, the boys find themselves thrust into a race against time, where collapsing caves, forgotten guardians, and supernatural forces stand between them and the truth.
Guided by a pendant tied to a sorrowful legend, they uncover the heartbreaking fate of Lukas—a man whose love defied the laws of the spirits, and whose tears shaped the very land itself.
As the past and present intertwine, Gabriel must confront revelations about his own connection to the legend and risk everything to free the lovers' souls from centuries of sorrow.
Echoes of a Giant’s Heart is a journey into the heart of Bohol’s greatest mystery—a tale of friendship, destiny, and the enduring power of love that no curse can silence.
