Publisher's Synopsis
An exciting adventure to a mysterious, exotic, and cruel land hidden in the African wilds, to which Leonard Outram and Otter, his servant, sojourn in pursuit of wealth to reclaim his ancestral home, but he ends up gaining much more than that.
Penniless Leonard Outram attempts to redress the undeserved loss of his family estates and fiancee by seeking his fortune in Africa. In the course of his adventures, he and his Zulu companion Otter save a young Portuguese woman, Juanna Rodd, together with her nursemaid Soa, from slavery. Leonard and Juanna are attracted to each other, but prone to bickering, and their romance is impeded by the watchful and jealous Soa.
