The Pathfinder is a hunter known throughout the thirteen kingdoms for his unusually keen sense of smell. He always works alone, but he must break this rule when he is hired to find a lost boy. The Pathfinder's companions are more bizarre and dangerous than each other: a leopard shifter, a witch, a giant - and each has a secret.

The child's trail will lead the motley group through perfumed palaces and impenetrable swamps, crowded cities and dark forests - and at every turn they will be hunted by enemies and fierce monsters. Throughout the journey, the Pathfinder cannot help but wonder: who is this mysterious boy and why do so many people (and are they only people?) not want to find him?

Wandering along with the characters in the intricacies of Marlon James's plot, the reader will discover the ancient world of Africa. And against this frantic backdrop of myths and legends, bloody events and magic, they will explore the boundaries of power and ambition, friendship and betrayal, truth and lies.
