About This Book

The narrative intercuts three strands: a covert band of foreign agents plotting unrest across Africa, rival priestesses and intrigue within the ancient, treasure-laden city of Opar, and the jungle lord who moves to defend his domain. The plot tracks raids, betrayals, capture, and daring rescues amid ruined temples and dense jungle, with encounters that involve wild beasts as well as treacherous humans. Action and suspense drive a series of confrontations that test courage, cunning, and loyalties, while themes of survival, honor, and the clash between civilization and the primeval world thread through the episodic structure.
