In an era of intertwined steam and shackles, sisters Alaina and Laila, who have double moles on the back of their necks, were born labeled as "shadow trackers" - an ancient ethnic group who were hunted in secret. In order to escape the fate of being reduced to reproductive tools, they killed their relatives, swallowed their sins, and embarked on a road of exile across continents and hearts. From the culverts in London to the cages in India, from the plague in the South China Sea to the jungles of Borneo, as they devour and pursue, they gradually piece together the cruel truth that they are not twins, but two souls in one body. When the clouds of pursuit are over again, and when the fusion of souls becomes the only destination, how will they face themselves and the whole world? This is a song about escaping, devouring, and finally finding your complete self. It is also a song of revenge and redemption for all unyielding souls.
Purpose: This book explores how women can regain the right to self-definition under layers of oppression and turn the "curse" they are forced to endure into a source of strength. It goes beyond individual revenge and escape, and more deeply depicts the difficult transformation of the soul from division to integrity, from prey to guardian, and ultimately points to a profound self-reconciliation and a clear-headed guardianship responsibility that transcends hatred.
