Black Fire Over Tondo
WIND AND WATER. The murder of a revered Wan Kuei philosopher in Guangzhou turns into an insidious blame game that pits Corpse Families against each other. WOOD AND EARTH. A massive earthquake in the city of Palembang uncovers a long-hidden tomb with a dangerous inhabitant. FIRE AND METAL. Two seemingly unrelated events would see their confluence in the tribal kingdom of Tondo¸ where a great reaping centuries in the making would see its fulfillment. "BLACK FIRE OVER TONDO " is a story of the undead that takes place in the obscure and little-known period of the Dark Ages in East Asia. The story takes characters from the endangered Song Dynasty of China¸ or the dying Srivijaya Empire of Sumatra¸ to the hidden island realm of the pre-Magellanic Philippines¸ chasing twin threats that can forever change the face of Asia's nights.
