Even worse, she has Serwa's father under her thrall.

But the Keepers are even more secretive than the Abomofuo, and finding them will require Serwa to trek across the United States. At least she has her friends by her side for the journey . . . friends who currently hate her guts. The survival of everything and everyone Serwa has ever loved hinges on her completing this final hunt without losing herself in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSerwa Boateng has been a Slayer.
