The natives are horrified by this discovery; Njeri is so infamous that no local will even speak her name. They fear the discovery of Njeris corpse will bring about pestilence and disease upon their tribe.
The legend of Njeri goes back to the mystical Mchanga and Misitu War. This war was fought long ago, and historians are still unsure of how it ended. It seems the soldiers from this war apparently disappeared. Now news of local villagers either gone missing and even some found dead are worrying her friends, but Kathleen feels strangely drawn to the story of Njeri; she begins to have nightmares and visions of a past life and a battle of wills.

Under the influence of Njeri, she learns more about the past than she ever expected toand realizes she may become the weapon through which Njeri exacts her revenge.
