  The Last Line 
  A Titanic Novel — Book Two in the “Tales of Love and Loss” Series 
   By Laura McCrum 
  April 1912. 
   As the RMS Titanic sets sail on her maiden voyage, First Officer William Murdoch stands at the helm of the world’s most magnificent ship — outwardly composed, yet quietly burdened by something left unresolved on shore. 
  From the grandeur of first class to the fragile hopes of steerage, The Last Line reveals the final days aboard Titanic through the eyes of a man navigating both authority and conscience. As tensions flicker and unease stirs among passengers, William finds himself watching more closely… choosing more carefully. 
  Through letters written from Queenstown to the final night, and Ada’s increasingly troubled reflections at home, their love story unfolds against a backdrop of class divides, quiet premonitions, and a fate neither can escape. 
  When the unthinkable happens, one letter remains — the last line between a husband’s promise and a widow’s grief. 
  Blending meticulous historical detail with evocative storytelling, The Last Line reclaims the legacy of a man defined not by rumour, but by courage, conflict, and heart.

  The war of the three realms begins here… 
  In the heart of the Samtoy Nation during the pre-colonial era of Philippine history, the world of Filipino heroes, deities, and mythological monsters collide in an ambitious re-telling of a classic Filipino epic. 
  Our story begins with Namongan, a healer and midwife from an isolated village in the Ilocos Region who discovers that she is destined to bear a child blessed by the Poon deities. This child is Lam-ang and he is the first Lakandian. Maturing at a rate unheard of amongst mere mortals, Lam-ang also possesses the strength of a hundred men and was trained to be the greatest warrior for good the mortal realm has ever seen. 
  Together with Mangmankik, an anito spirit assigned to look after him by the Poons, Lam-ang sets out on a quest to find the missing pieces of the Gayaman Amulet and rescue his father who was abducted by the insidious night creatures on the night that he was born. 
  This book covers the first half of the life of Lam-ang, derived from the Ilocano epic Biag ni Lam-ang. The story follows the adventures of our hero as he uncovers the truth about himself as well as the truth about his role in the war between the forces of good and evil that threatens not just the fate of the world of men but all the realms of the spirit world as well.
