BOOK TWO
Sarabande Swinford has lost her fortune, swindled by an expert con man, from whom she gained in return, only a handful of worthless paper and a questionable—and partial—treasure map. Taking ship to Cape Town with her lover Tommy and son Jude, she pursues the rest of the map as well as its promised wealth of diamonds. Separated from her family by bubonic plague-fearing mobs, she so goes alone in search of the treasure the con man suggested the map would give her. Lost, she wanders across Africa’s vast, merciless Great Karroo Desert, accompanied by two men—one a stone-cold killer, the other an enigmatic, charismatic adventurer (but can she trust him?)—and must fight not only for her honor but for her very life.
