The Great White Queen: A Tale of Treasure and Treason
1896
When Richard Scarsmere, an unremarkable young Englishman, befriends the enigmatic Omar Sanom at school, he has no idea their friendship will sweep him across the world. After a mysterious figure named Kouaga sets deadly forces in motion, Richard and Omar flee England for Africa, where a stunning revelation awaits: Omar is the prince of Mo, a hidden kingdom buried deep in the continental interior. But treachery follows them through the jungle, and Kouaga's shadow looms larger with every step toward the legendary treasure that could secure Mo's future or destroy it forever. As Richard navigates a world of palace intrigue, dangerous conspirators, and the seductive lure of ancient riches, he must choose between loyalty to his friend and the safer path of retreat. Part lost-world adventure, part tale of dangerous friendship, The Great White Queen delivers the pulse-quickening excitement of Victorian adventure fiction at its most rip-roaring: exotic locales, hidden kingdoms, and the eternal question of whether gold is worth the blood spilled to claim it.
