Book Description:
Mak Cik Bidan might have been able to save the young woman she loved like a daughter from the madman’s murderous attack ... Instead, she ran for her life, carrying little more than the clothes on her back.
Seventeen years later, she returns to Kampung Pokok Tertinggi, desperate to rid herself of the curse that has plagued her ever since ... But first, she must find a new master for the undead creature she conjured to keep herself alive.
Only one person is qualified to accept the charge—Sulung, the son of the disgraced former village headman. Bitter to have been cheated out of the title he considers his birthright, he is suddenly offered the opportunity to attain the ends he thirsts for: power, wealth and revenge. But as with all bargains, there is a price to be paid ...
The second book in The Bomoh’s Apprentice series, Blood Reunion evokes the rich traditions of ancient Malaysian folklore while tapping the universal themes of love and hate, greed and self-sacrifice, honor and betrayal.
GEOFFREY S. WALKER first read about Borneo as a young boy, and his fascination with the island has stayed with him ever since. In 2004, following a successful career in advertising, he left the United States and settled in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. As a member of the Sabah Society, he has had the opportunity to explore many parts of Borneo that are well off the beaten track, and these experiences helped shape his first novel, The Bomoh’s Apprentice, and its first sequel, Blood Reunion. Besides working on the third book in the series, he is also compiling a book of nonsense verse for children.
