Through a strange twist of fate, a young man embarks on a terrifying quest to the Spirit-Realms to recapture his rogue shadow and regain his humanity, armed with UDU, the Curse-Pot from hell!
On the evening of his fifteenth birthday, Uwa, the only son of a wealthy farmer, is cursed and banished from the village by The Nshi Sisters, three high priestesses to the gods. Left an outcast, he must seek and find his missing shadow before he can reclaim his humanity, his birthright, and citizenship. Burdened with the UDU, a fetish clay-pot filled with deadly curses, Uwa embarks on a dangerous quest to find his missing shadow, which is imprisoned within Earth-Mother’s realm, but to get there he must battle more than just the demons from the spirit realm…
