   Summary

   Before Shuri goes to Haiti, she first visits the Hall of Kings in the City of the Dead.

   She allows herself to be buried in earth — supine, arms crossed — like her ancestors before her. A shaman holds a bowl to her lips; she drinks again of the new heart-shaped herb, born of a flower from the sea. Lord M’Baku of the Jabari observes the proceedings in watchful silence; an honored guest.

   Shuri holds her breath and closes her eyes. Sand falls soft on her face.

   Her rage is spent. Her heart beats a tattoo in her chest in both fear and hope.
