In The Reckoning, (Book 3) armed with this new-found knowledge, Ramonne seeks the source of his powers and journeys back to Cambodia and the ancient temples to a fateful encounter with Zhoupeng – the mighty devil who “turned him” so many years before. Ramonne vows to put an end to his reign of evil over the poor land.
