If cursed is the hand that kills, then it wouldn't matter if that same hand stole, would it?Tulen feels doubly cursed, forced to serve the bratty princess of Impian as punishment for her crimes. When said princess embarks on a pilgrimage, Tulen grabs her only chance to offer a sacrifice at the holy city of Suci-and maybe, finally, feel clean again.Sultan Mikal has set his face towards Suci-and certain death. Nothing about his Penance is clear, except the fact that if he fails, Terang will fall along with him.When Tulen's pilgrimage intersects with Sultan Mikal's quest to fulfil the Covenant of Salt, Tulen faces a difficult dilemma: What is her absolution worth in the face of the sultanate's very existence?

Why should he start now?Dongeng tells the story of Sara and Helmi’s awakening to magic in their own country. There’s a war to protect Alam Dongeng, helmed by the Orang Bunian and Garuda. But are the ranks of Hantu really their enemies? They may very well be fighting the wrong battle.ΓÇïA sequel to Coexist, Dongeng draws you into a whole new realm of fairy tales.
