Meet the matriarchs of Filipino myth - defiant goddesses, powerful witches, terrifying shapeshifters - and their real-life counterparts, as Carla Montemayor journeys to discover her own ancestry and the stories of her people.

When Carla Montemayor discovers that her great-great grandmother was a binukot - a girl sequestered from her family and community, trained to memorise and sing the myths of her people - this sets her on her own epic journey to uncover her ancestry. Why was she raised on European fairytales and Greek myths when the stories of her own people are so rich? And why did no one in her family speak of their illustrious binukot foremother anymore?

Travelling to the Philippines to trace the lives of her female relatives, Carla discovers that, officially, her people have no history. Like many indigenous groups, their stories have been erased by colonists. It becomes her work to reconstruct and reimagine them.
