From the master of Shona-language horror comes a tale of sexual violence, corruption in high places, injustice....and an unspeakable horror summoned by arts darker than anything yet seen in Zimbabwean lore. A young girl, an orphaned domestic servant, is gang-raped by the sons of well-to-do families. Denied justice by a system that sometimes fails those who need it the most, she can only turn to someone who has been a victim too. Someone who knows another way of punishing her rapists. A way based on the knowledge of things that no one ought to know....
