THE FALLEN ANGEL

Miranda learned long ago that survival belongs to the person who can read the table before anyone else. At twenty-six, she is a professional gambler, a millionaire, and Alfredo Arakawa’s undefeated prodigy—the woman feared in Manila’s most dangerous circles as the Fallen Angel.

Behind her black gloves and perfect control is a childhood she cannot fully remember. Only fragments remain: a woman’s voice, warm sunlight, a wooden lighthouse, and the unsettling feeling that someone deliberately erased the family she once had.

After a victory worth hundreds of millions of pesos, Miranda is summoned by the powerful man who raised her. What follows draws her deeper into a struggle involving a criminal empire, hidden enemies, buried identities, and secrets that Alfredo protected for years.

At Miranda’s side is Kael—the one man reckless enough to challenge her, loyal enough to protect her, and dangerous enough to become the weakness she never intended to have. As betrayal closes in and the truth about her past begins to surface, Miranda must decide whether love is simply another gamble she is destined to lose—or the only thing worth risking everything to protect.
