After his father's bankruptcy and suicide casts him out of English society, Leonard Outram makes a desperate choice: seek his fortune in the wilds of Africa, where legends speak of treasure vast enough to restore his family's name. What begins as a quest for gold becomes something far stranger when he discovers a lost tribe hidden beneath the African sun, guarded by a monster god older than memory. Alongside the mysterious Soa, who carries her own secrets, Leonard must navigate treacherous waters, savage landscapes, and the snares of those who would claim the treasure for themselves. Yet the greatest danger may not be the wilderness or its ancient horrors, but what he must become to survive in a land where the old rules no longer apply. Haggard delivers a swashbuckling adventure that blends romance, spectacle, and the thrill of the unknown into a tale about what we sacrifice to reclaim what we've lost.
