A bloodthirsty demon. A pacifist monk with a deadly past. How much will he sacrifice to overcome unspeakable evil? An African fantasy based on the Angola folklore of the kishi! The Kishi-shape-shifting demons who lure young women to gruesome deaths. They can't be real, can they? Something has slain a villager, and the locals point their fingers at Amana, a pacifist monk running from his dark past. But Amana knows there's something else, something much darker, lurking in the village. Can he save the village, his name, and his principles? To save one would mean the sacrifice of the others, if he has the strength.
