Meanwhile, Romeo is taken by the gunmen, raised by bandits, and becomes the ruthless rebel leader known as Kumander Bangis.

Years later, the twins unknowingly find themselves on opposite sides of a violent conflict in the mountains of Agusan, where Kumander Bangis and his bandits wage war against Carlo’s military forces.

This novel is a poignant reflection on the cost of conflict, the weight of revenge, and the enduring bonds of family, offering a compelling narrative of love, loss, and hope amidst the chaos of war.
