Apat na buwan na si Janus sa mansiyon nina Manong Joey sa Angono pero naroon pa rin ang sakit ng dilang-karayom ng manananggal sa puso niya dahil sa pagkawala ng mga mahal sa buhay at sapilitang paglayo kay Mica.

Simula ng Christmas break nang mawasak ang proteksiyon ng mansiyon laban sa Tiyanak at sa mga kampon nito. Matinding barang ba ito? Nawawala rin si Mira, ang isa sa kambal na baganing kasing-edad ni Janus at inampon din nina Manong Joey. Ipinagtapat naman ni Renzo kay Janus ang matagal na palang sinusundan ni Manong Isyo: bumalik sa mapa ng utak ng dalawang manong ang brain imprint ng Papa ni Janus at maaaring buhay pa pala ito!

Here is a book that introduces the creatures and monsters that can hurt, but can also be friends, the aswang that brings fear and death, the heroes with astonishing strength, courage, and wisdom, the anito that guides and warns, and the diwata and bathala that lead and protect all that is created—the creatures that live in the rich stories and belief of the different groups of our nation.

Get scared and amazed with the fantastic creatures of our race.

Narito ang aklat na nagpapakilala sa mga lamanlupa at halimaw na nakapananakit, ngunit kung minsan ay kaibigan din, sa mga aswang na nagdudulot ng takot at kamatayan, sa mga bayaning may kahanga-hangang lakas, tapang, at talino, sa mga anitong gumagabay at nagbabadya, at sa mga diwata at bathalang namumuno at nangangalaga sa lahat ng nilikha—silang mga nilalang na nabubuhay sa mayamang salaysay at paniniwala ng iba’t ibang pangkat sa ating bansa.

Matakot at mamangha sa mga kagila-gilalas na nilalang ng ating lahi.

In a TALA Online tournament in the town of Balanga, all the players fell dead, save for Janus. Soon after that, teen after teen suffered deaths in computer shops around the country. Janus was contacted by someone who calls himself Joey, apparently another survivor of TALA like him. Janus did not expect the truths he would discover, weaving him into the mystery of the RPG that enthralled him—and into the legend of the Tiyanak from Tábon!

Sa tournament ng TALA Online sa bayan ng Balanga, namatay ang lahat ng manlalaro maliban kay Janus. Sunod-sunod pa ang naging kaso ng pagkamatay ng mga kabataan sa computer shops sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa. Kinontak si Janus ng nagpakilalang Joey, isa rin umano sa mga nakaligtas sa paglalaro ng TALA na gaya niya. Hindi inasahan ni Janus ang mga matutuklasan niya mula rito na mag-uugnay sa kanya sa misteryo ng kinahuhumalingan niyang RPG—at sa alamat ng Tiyanak mula sa Tábon!

Bago naglaho si Janus habang naglalaro ng TALA, nakita ni Manong Joey sa utak nito ang hinahanap nilang paraluman. Sinundo ni Renzo si Mica sa Balanga para protektahan ito sa Angono at dahil may kaugnayan ito sa paralumang nakita ni Manong Joey kay Janus. Samantala, nasa Kalibutan pa rin sina Manong Isyo para hanapin si Mira na malamang na nakuha ng mga mambabarang. Walang kaalam-alam ang lahat kung nasaan na si Janus hanggang sa makita ni Manong Joey na humihiwalay ang anino ni Renzo sa katawan nito at maaaring matagal na pala itong ginagamit ng Tiyanak!

Hindi na natagpuan nina Janus ang katawan ni Renzo sa paanan ng Bundok Banog.

Bumalik sila sa Angono para harapin ang puwang ng mga wala na, at para hanapin ang sagot sa mga naroong tanong: ano na ang nangyayari kina Manong Joey sa Kalibutan? Wala na bang nakakita kay Boss Serj mula noong Pasko? Bakit parang nanghihina ang mangindusa ni Janus? At higit sa lahat, nasaan ba talaga si Tala?
