Engkanto is such a magical word. But does it refer to a people or a world? The story follows a young man named Rakly from the island of Ragua in a far distant region somewhere in the Western Ocean. As he lives his ordinary life, he is preoccupied with questions about his true identity linked to Engkanto and what it means to be the youngest chieftain on the island. But one day, the island is stunned by a series of incidents considered to be the signs of the times — that the world is to end. And then the people of Ragua wake up to the horror of an entire village murdered in a single night. As the island investigates, they learn that the murder is carried out not by ordinary mortals but by something else. It leads Rakly to embark on a journey crossing the vast ocean to reach the Mainland in search of a kingdom hidden in the eastern mountains. It is the only way to stop the murders and save the island from strange creatures roaming in the night. Accompanied by two strangers and a friend, together they face different challenges along the way, meeting otherworldly beings, monsters, and creatures found only in the tales of old.
