In a quiet and quaint little town in the Philippines called Gintongbayan,
everything looks normal on the surface, but beneath it, lies another
world hidden from general view: Batala. It is an enchanted realm
where fantastic creatures reside, and magic is an everyday occurrence.
Yet it is locked in constant peril due to an eternal war fought by
two warring factions: Bakunawa, the Serpent Goddess, leads
one side, and the other, the black dwarf known as Axe-Grinder.
In the middle of all this, a human child named Pandora is born under
strange circumstances in Gintongbayan. Each faction wants her by
their side due to her burgeoning but underdeveloped powers, and
with the help of her grandmother, Lola Sabrina, she will learn to
hone all of them. Will she use them to save everyone or destroy
everything she holds dear?
