About This Book

A narrator and his companion, stranded in the African interior, become involved with a dying priest who reveals the secret of a queen, a captive woman, and a hidden treasure. Their tale moves through ambushes, poisoned arrows, and tense encounters with hostile tribes, while rituals, witchcraft, and a high priestly council complicate every step. Episodes alternate daring errands, imprisonments, feats of strength, and strange revelations as allies and enemies shift around them. The narrative culminates in direct confrontations that test loyalty and courage and in a final struggle to secure life, love, and freedom.
