New Intramuros: a hyper-technological smart city surrounded by heavily armored walls. Beyond it, vast mountains and jungles teeming with hostile machine life called aswangs. For over a century, the Philippine Mech Force has been fighting the aswangs with mechs of their own—and talented pilots to fly them.
Anya grew up watching her father, the famed General Armin Valerio, lead the charge during Operation Tablay—an all-out bombing campaign aimed to annihilate the aswangs once and for all. Everything changed when the operation failed, leaving her father an incapacitated man.
Fourteen years later, Anya Valerio enters the Philippine Mech Force and quickly becomes a rising star. However, when she finds out a dark secret about the aswangs, it’s up to Anya and her partner—the reserved but brilliant engineer, Chino Jose—to stop the fight before the consequences are irreversible.
Tablay is Filipino for electric charge. It is the soul of the city, the mover and shaker of machines, the spark between two hearts. But most of all, Tablay aims to shine light on the relation between technology and our society’s ethical choices.
“Clever. Imaginative. Grounded. It looks back to our past and reimagines our future.” - Juan Ekis, Palanca-award winning poet and playwright
“A noteworthy piece of literature that delivers heart-pounding and visually stimulating action scenes, heartfelt character dialogue and thought-provoking themes…” - The Bosun
“A gripping, thought-provoking adventure that is both amazing and heartfelt. The real magic of Tablay is its ability to replenish our diminishing faculty to wonder.” - The Time of Assassins Literary Guild

FAQs
Where do you ship from?
We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.

What are your shipping options?
For books shipping from New Jersey, we offer USPS Media Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and USPS Priority Mail. For non US addresses, we ship via DHL.
For books shipping from Manila to the US, you can choose between two options.
Express: Your book ships directly to you via DHL. This is the fastest option.
No Rush: Your book is included in our regular shipment from Manila to NJ. Once it arrives in NJ, we ship it to you right away via USPS. This option takes longer but helps keep shipping costs lower.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?
One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.
If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.

- We do not give refunds except in cases where we have made an error. If we made a mistake, we will rectify the error and refund reasonable return shipping expenses you incur.
