Tracker leaves the surviving mingi children with the Gangatom tribe and sets out on his own. She and most of the children are killed, but she is able to place a protective enchantment on Tracker before she dies.

He and Leopard kill the creature and escape. On one mission to rescue children, Tracker is caught by a flesh-eating monster named Asanbosam. These children are cared for by the Sangoma, an anti-witch. They rescue mingi children, who are born with birth defects and/or strange powers. He meets a shapeshifter known as Leopard and a young Ku man named Kava, with whom Tracker begins a sexual relationship. As a young adult, he abandons his abusive grandfather and returns to the Ku tribe, home of his extended family. Once Tracker has identified someone’s scent, he can follow them anywhere. In a frame story, a man named Tracker recounts his tale to prison interrogators from the South Kingdom. The plot is narrated in flashbacks with non-chronological episodes.
