Part 3, Chapter 11 Summary

In Kongor, Tracker waits three days with Sogolon for Leopard, Fumeli, and Sadogo to shake off the Anjonu’s spell. Tracker learns that what appeared to be a few days in the Darklands was a month in Kongor. Sogolon talks about her previous experiences with evil men in Kongor, and they watch mercenaries parading into the city out the window of Sogolon’s friend’s home.

The group discusses how Sangoma’s magic allows Tracker to find the ten and nine doors, and how Bibi was part of the Seven Wings, who now march into the city to work for the King. Sadogo wants to seek vengeance in the Darklands, and tells Tracker more about his past as an executioner.

After Leopard wakes, he and Tracker argue about Fumeli coming between them. Tracker mentions here that he learns much later that Fumeli is drugging Leopard, but Tracker does not suspect this yet. Venin is also staying with them, under the guidance of Sogolon.

Tracker walks through the city (describing it as he walks) to a whorehouse. The madam, Miss Wadada, has him undress and meet with Ekoiye, a spy as well as one of her employees. They have sex, and their pillow-talk consists of Tracker asking about Basu and the boy.
