Moon of Barong: The Last Bali Werewolf

Beneath the postcard-perfect sunsets and the rhythmic chanting of the tourists lies a rotting Niskala world. The ancient balance of Rwa Bhineda—the sacred equilibrium between light and dark—has been poisoned. A prehistoric curse, dormant since the fall of the Majapahit Empire, is clawing its way back through the volcanic soil of Bali. Gede, a simple laborer in the emerald rice terraces of Jatiluwih, never asked for a destiny carved in bone and blood. His life shatters the night he witnesses Jero Mangku, the village’s most pious priest, transform into a silver-furred nightmare under the glare of a jagged moon. But Jero Mangku wasn't just a monster. He was the first casualty of the Wong Kalong—an ancient lineage of Balinese shapeshifters who were once the elite guardians of kings, now reborn as a mindless, contagious plague. Branded by a claw mark that refuses to heal, Gede finds his own humanity slipping away. His senses are sharpening to a lethal degree; he can hear the heartbeat of the forest and smell the fear of his neighbors. He is thrust into a shadow war that has simmered for centuries, caught between three deadly factions: The Leyak Covens: Dark sorcerers who see the return of the "Silver Blood" as the ultimate ingredient for their immortality rituals. The Banaspati Guardians: Ancient forest entities who believe the only way to save Bali’s sanctity is to purge everyone infected—including Gede. The Blood Moon Cult: A modern shadow organization plotting to trigger a perpetual eclipse, turning the island of the Gods into a banquet for predators. Visceral combat, temple politics, and mystical progression, Moonlight over Majapahit follows Gede’s journey from a terrified victim to a legendary predator. As he searches for a cure from the peaks of Mount Agung to the crushing depths of the Southern Sea, he must decide: will he save the island that fears him, or will he lead the pack that destroys it?
