Behold Taguwasi, master of the wind...
On a nameless mountaintop on the northernmost tip of the known lands, the Lakandian called Lumalindaw meets another of his kind; Taguwasi, master of the wind. The two champions of the Poons befriend one another as Taguwasi invites Lumalindaw to join him and his family to eat, rest, and recover his strength as he continues his search for the witch Muwan.
As was common amongst the pre-colonial peoples of the Philippines, Lumalindaw and Taguwasi's family share tales of their lives and adventures as they feast and chew betel nuts together. Lumalindaw tells the tale of his tragic life and exile from his family while Taguwasi and his family tell him of their shared adventures and destinies.
The tale of Taguwasi is an adventure story taken from the different points of view of Taguwasi's wife Innawagan, her three brothers, the two magical kumaw birds, the anito Bago, and the Lakandian Taguwasi himself. It is a tale of abduction, heartbreak, and triumph as two magically endowed beings called the manulib, take the beautiful Innawagan captive and set the entire tale into motion. Join the Lakandian Taguwasi and his family as they struggle against impossible odds in their fight to win their freedom from that which holds them bound in darkness as well as their past.
