The day Tekkud saw the goatskin usgar was the day his life changed forever. 

A humble trapper and a faithful son, Tekkud ak Mastaba finds himself drawn into a world of spirits and secrets, into a web of cruelty and conspiracy and into a desperate quest to save his family.

In the unique setting of Abdjar every action has a consequence, every lie a purpose, and no deed, good or ill, goes unpunished.
