But the night those she loves are gravely threatened by the Zooโs cruel master, Koffi unleashes a power she doesnโt fully understand, upending her life completely.

Koffiโs power ultimately saves Ekon, but his choice to let her flee dooms his hopes of becoming a warrior. Desperate to redeem himself, Ekon vows to hunt the Shetani and end its reign of terror, but he canโt do it alone. Koffi and Ekon form a tentative alliance and together enter the Greater Jungle, a world steeped in wild, frightening magic and untold dangers. The hunt begins.
