Over half a century ago, a darkness was locked away in the jungles of the South Pacific. Its legacy, one of genocide recorded over hundreds of years, holds the truth behind the most sinister and alluring horror of all time. American anthropology student, Kylie Harrison's life is thrust into chaos when she's framed for murder and left on the run from the killers. While the villagers accuse her of awakening an evil jungle spirit known as the Masalai , she may now be the only one with the key to stopping it. Desperate for answers, Kylie teams up with skeptical scientist, Mark Brighton, whose ties to the Masalai date back to World War II. From urban Chicago to the remote jungles of Papua New Guinea, they must race to find the answers before those who would use the Masalai for genocide can bring the legends to life. While drawing clues from literature, history, cryptography, biology, chemistry, and epidemiology; high suspense and thrilling action-adventure collide with a heavily researched examination into the scientific origins of supernatural legends such as vampires, werewolves and zombies. Because at the root of myth is truth.
