The sky was burning—then, and now.
In a world where truth is currency and silence is power, Amara Velasquez has learned to speak loudly. As one of the rising names in Philippine broadcast journalism, she built her reputation chasing stories others dared not touch. But then, an unexpected scandal erupted—one with her name plastered all over it. With her current television show hanging by a thread, she reluctantly accepts a high-stakes assignment. What she never anticipated was that the past wouldn’t just reveal itself—it would reach out, grip her tightly, and drag her straight into its depths.
One moment, she’s standing in the ruins of history. The next, she’s living it—trapped as Maria Isabella Dela Cruz, a woman navigating the turbulent 1940s, where fate forces her into a life of sudden transformation, sacrifice, and choices she never imagined she'd have to make.
In the heart of a country burning under Japanese occupation, Amara meets Captain Elias Silang, a soldier who chose resistance over surrender, loyalty over safety. As battles rage both outside and within, the two must fight for survival, truth, and a fragile love born in a time not their own.
But war doesn’t spare the innocent, and time doesn't easily let go. To return home, Amara must unravel Isa’s truths, survive betrayal, and decide how much of herself she’s willing to leave behind—beneath the burning sky.
