MAYARI: The Rise of the Angel of Death

Since childhood, Michelle's life was shaped by discipline, devotion, and the deadly precision of Bahad Zu'Bu, the Filipino martial art her father taught her. Beneath her quiet demeanor and student life was a blade-sharp resolve—and a warrior's instinct waiting to awaken.
When the shadows of corruption and violence threaten the innocent and the ones she holds dear, Michelle sheds her ordinary identity and becomes Mayari—a name whispered in fear through the underworld. Cloaked in mystery, swift as moonlight, and fierce as a storm, Mayari delivers justice not with vengeance, but with purpose.
With every strike, every decision, Michelle walks the line between protector and avenger. But as her actions echo far beyond what she imagined, she must confront a brutal truth, falling in love for the first time while she risks losing her very soul.
Beautiful, deadly, and born of love—this is the unforgettable story of how a daughter became the nightmare of the wicked... and the hope of the powerless.
