Buy the book from:
Leonard Outram, an impoverished Englishman determined to restore his lost family estate, seeks fortune in Africa with his Zulu companion Otter. Their journey becomes bound to Juanna Rodd, whom they rescue from slavery, and to reports of a hidden people guarding immense jewels beyond the known routes.
In the mist-shrouded kingdom they encounter competing rulers, ritual violence and priests devoted to a monstrous crocodile god. The novel is a large-scale lost-world adventure that combines treasure seeking, romance and warfare while exposing its travellers to the dangers of greed and the politics of an isolated society.
