Dr. Maricel Aguilar dies saving her patients during a typhoon. She wakes up in a stranger's body — Marisol, a noblewoman poisoned and left for dead by her own family in a world of rival datu lords, ancient spirits, and sea kingdoms that have never heard of germ theory.

Armed with surgical knowledge no one here can explain, a Babaylan bloodline she never asked for, and one very inconvenient spirit companion, she builds a practice from nothing in a fishing village on the coast road to the most powerful city in the archipelago.

The problem: her borrowed body's family wants her dead. The healer's guild wants her registered. A colonial empire wants the entire world remade in its image. And the coldest, most politically dangerous man in the islands seems to have decided she is his business.

She did not ask for any of this.
She is going to handle it anyway
