He later got to know that his grandfather Ezedimbu reincarnated in him to fulfill and accomplish his mission. Kierien after making a mistake of eating a dog meat which is abominable to him and his community mistakenly killed Osondu, the current Ndologwu priestess’ son. This the priestess saw as revenge from Ezedimbu on the old Ndologwu. Finally Kierien has to break the curse on his family as he met Mmasinachi, a reincarnate like Kierien as well. Their two ancestors whom they reincarnated from got attached in the past and they made a pact to come back in their next world and break the curse on Ezedimbu. The novel ended on a good note, Kierien married Adannia and he traveled to Cameroon to study. He left his paper factory business to his mother at Umuopi. Laura is happily married, Isaac working as a full government worker. Nnaji peacefully died of old age but still holds his stance-that Kierien’s father is not yet dead. Which makes us still gasping for more- is Udobi Ezeudu still alive? Through the first person narrator point of view, the author used Kierien to narrate the story of his life with every experience piece by piece unraveled in a smooth but more tensed fiction. A novel fully grounded on the background of tradition and history, laced into the genre of magic realism.
