But in this house, victory is earned with blood.\n\nA lush new voice in horror arises in this riveting gothic set against the upheaval of 1986 Philippines and the People Power Revolution.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593817583\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0593817583.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fama, Daphne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
