Her search for her missing father brings determined Lorna Fairfield to the exotic island of Kali Simpang. In this mysterious land of savagery and superstition, she seeks the aid of dashing British officer Ross St. James--torn between a single-minded devotion to fidning her lost loved one..and her soul's insistent yearning for the virile adventurer who would guide her through the heart of darkness. Stirred by the courage of the haunting, flame-haired beauty, fearing for Lorna's safety in this world of cannibals and bloodthirsty cults, Ross agrees to join her expedition into the jungle from which no stranger has ever returned--prepared to sacrifice his very life for the love that is to be their magnificent destiny.
