Synopsis

Child of Storm by H. Rider Haggard Allan Quatermain, continues to indulge his penchant for globe-trotting adventure in a tumultuous journey across Africa. Upon his arrival, he discovers that one of his closest friends has fallen head over heels in love with one of the most beautiful - and dangerous - women in the world, and he will stop at nothing to win this accused witch's affection. Will Quatermain be able to intervene before it's too late - or will he succumb to the vixen's charms, as well?
