Opis

Death waits in shadows as slave traders make their way through East Africa's Great Rift Valley. They attack a group of young warriors who strike back. Six centuries later, an expedition led by archaeologists, Allan Cline and Christopher Ward, is exploring caves in the very region. Mesmerized by 50,000 year-old-artifacts, they stumble into a strange land and find themselves among the Ashais people who protect a beautiful bird and life-changing secrets. The team gains knowledge of the secrets. They have a compelling story to tell, but the archaeologists are torn between the land they must protect as cultural stewards, and new truths they must herald to the world. One of them is drawn to the mysterious people and falls in love with the king's daughter. The people sensing danger take preemptive action. The archaeologists feel the weight of centuries of betrayal and brutality that shatters lives.
