One hundred years ago, in the drought-stricken village of Baha-Nkrah, elders performed a forbidden ritual—sacrificing a child to summon rain. The skies opened, but the price was eternal: a curse was born, and with it, a child unlike any other—Eno, a boy sustained only by human hearts.
Now, as whispers return to the land and bodies begin to disappear, Eno is reborn, wandering between hunger and memory. Villages fall silent. Rituals are forgotten or twisted. The land remembers. And those who deny the past are the first to bleed.
Told across shifting time and perspective—from the cursed child's fractured mind, to the voices of Sister Nkiru, a desperate nun who uncovers the truth, and a trio of spiritualists who descend into a rotting forest in search of the original sacrificial site—the novel explores the deep rot left behind by unspoken sins, and the monstrous forms silence can take.
But at the end of blood and bone lies a shrine, drowned and breathing. And in its dark belly, the truth waits—not for forgiveness, but for a final feeding.
