Sawah Putih - Book One

When Aaron Male, a 41-year-old Brit from Manchester, moves to a quiet Indonesian village to escape the noise of his past, he expects peace, rice fields, and maybe a few geckos. What he gets instead is a crumbling house, a strange girl who draws terrifying visions, and a grave in the rice field marked with his surname. As whispers grow louder and shadows stretch longer, Aaron finds himself pulled into something ancient and watching. And just when things begin to make sense, he meets Wira — calm, kind, and hiding secrets of his own. Part supernatural mystery, part slow-burn love story, Sawah Putih is a gripping tale of memory, belonging, and the things that find us when we stop running
