New York anthropologist Elle Bowie, drawn to the Guinea Coast by a dream. Amazed to discover the domain holds vast happiness and delights, she cannot reveal her true ambition. For against everything her mind and heart has trained her for, she has it bad for the Coast Gentleman. Brendan cannot love a woman who is in cahoots with the British. Elle cannot love any man. Central in the scheming of the Oil Rivers citizens is the traitorous gnome Mateus, descended from Portuguese soldiers. The happy-go-lucky Texan, Rip, who masquerades as Elle's husband. And the majestic and brutal General Ologboshere, in command of thousands of warriors.
As Brendan and Elle become mixed up in the political intrigues of the steamy jungle, the British forces bear down relentlessly upon them. They face the extinction of a way of life, trading hulks anchored in the rivers, advanced bronze artwork, colossal war canoes, and the supremacy of the Oba, King of Benin, second in command to the gods.
The Kingdom of Benin, the land of ritualistic human sacrifice and juju religion. The lives and loves of many hang in the balance in...THE HINTERLANDS
