She was determined to track down and kill the traitor Tampong, even if killing the woman was the last thing she did. To achieve her goal, many men died horrible deaths so Shoil could stay strong to fulfill her destiny. She traveled far and wide tracking down Tampong, along with a new presence, a boy named Terry, picking up their trails here and there, with Shoil’s determination driving her on. In an ironic and potentially deadly twist, after consuming one particular man, Shoil suddenly needed a new body to continue her life and her hunt. She had to choose carefully, knowing her choice could be a shortcut to finding Tampong. The plan worked, and the inevitable meeting of the two was planned. Terry was young, but found himself in the middle of the hatred between the two women. Doubt and confusion filled his mind, until he was no longer certain of the right path to take. Should he join with Shoil, or support the woman who protected him for so many years? Terry’s path is unclear, until he meets someone who will change his life forever. Does the boy still want to save Tampong from Shoil’s wrath?
