This is the cover of the last Earthsea book that I bought, "The Other Wind." I actually bought it ahead of "Tehanu" (the book released before "The Other Wind"). The story is close to my heart up to today.

Bayawak's Trail available on Amazon.com

Visit Amazon.com to learn more about Bayawak's Trail by Justine Camacho-Tajonera

Marian Malabanan is an anthropology graduate student who just wants to study Manobo folklore when she becomes embroiled in a murder (or what she considers an assassination) and the Manobos’ struggle with a paramilitary group in the hinterlands of Surigao del Sur.

Far away from friends and family, she can only rely on a few people: her host, a local congresswoman, Marilou Mamaril, and the mysterious Gregoire Durant, photographer and fellow anthropologist, who helps her navigate the dangerous minefield of Lumad ancestral lands by advising her to keep quiet. Can Marian figure out who was really behind the murder and live to tell her story? Or will her headstrong nature get her buried alongside the murder victims?

The Mermaid from Siquijor available on Amazon.com

Amazon.com

Lorie Cenas gets invited to go on a diving trip to Siquijor, an island famed for its connection to the supernatural, to heal from a broken heart. She accepts but her friend doesn’t know that Lorie has a secret: she already has a deep connection to the island, the place where her mother died a long time ago.

There, she meets Marceau Egasse, a French diver and marine ecologist, who is passionate about the ocean but skeptical about the island’s mystic powers; and Elena, a mysterious island woman, who has secrets of her own.

Elena wants something from Lorie that she is not willing to give up. Will Lorie heal wounds from her past in Siquijor? Will she find love and a kindred spirit? Or is the island a maelstrom that will consume her, just like it did her mother?

A Portrait of Jade

Jade Alverio is dying to get to summer art camp in Baguio, far away from her demanding parents and her ultra-perfect sister, Ruby. She thinks it will be a haven of likeminded spirits until she gets her first critique from Alexander Santamaria III, who seems to have converted all female camp members into his groupies.

Things get worse when she's paired up with him on a major project. Will she survive dream-turned-nightmare art camp, or will she go running back home, the very place she wanted to escape in the first place?
