Onipe, a strong hunter and a uniting force in the hilly village, finds himself in a strange land in one of his hunting expeditions. In the process, he meets human and supernatural beings. His encounters with them apparently seem sweet and bitter. Again, the people in Onipe's village practice certain traditions and culture that have never been heard. Why are axes placed on dead bodies? Why are tiny stones placed in the ears of a pregnant woman in labour? What have the white men discovered in the village that is the best in the world? This story is a page-turner. The African aesthetics make it a great deal.
