Publisher's Synopsis
Helena Sebright viewed it as a sunlit holiday - a visit to Africa as temporary governess to a small girl. But from the moment she arrived, the shadows of danger deepened. Within a plantation, mysterious and deadly intrigue clouded days and chilled nights with terror, while outside native unrest threatens every stranger. And when the one man whom Helena felt she could trust, and even love, turned violently against her, the lovely young girl knew she stood alone between monstrous evil and the child she was sworn to protect.
