Ella Arcangel

Magic of Earth and Blood

by Julius Villanueva (author and illustrator)

Description

Ella Arcangel: Magic of Earth and Blood follows the adventures of the titular hero, a 12 year old “mambabarang” living in the slums of Barangay Masikap. Ella has to walk the tightrope of helping her impoverished community deal with the supernatural, assisting the dispossessed spirits and elementals deal with the humans who are sharing their space, and fending off her own lack of resources. She won’t just battle supernatural monsters, but monsters with a badge and a uniform as she is caught in the middle of the unjust drug war.
