An action-packed archaeological adventure from global bestseller Wilbur Smith You should know of the legend.
But what happened to that ancient civilisation? And what is it that connects that lost empire to Ben, and the violent dangers he must face in the present day?.
The curse, it seems, is real, and will link Ben, his oldest friend, and the woman they both love with a forgotten leader from two thousand years ago, in a city of glory and honour that subsequently disappeared without a trace.
Soon, a whispered curse and a chance encounter with a local tribe lead him to discover much more than city foundations.
Dr Ben Kazin has only a blurred photograph and a gut instinct that there is a lost city to uncover somewhere beneath the Botswana cliffs.
A curse reborn.
A lost civilisation.
They placed a death curse upon these hills and commanded that this evil be cleaned from the earth and from the minds of men, forever.
