An addictive tale with drama, history, and delightful protagonists. -Kirkus Reviews
In 1808, as Napoleon's armies march across Europe, the Portuguese royal court flees Lisbon for Brazil-transforming Rio de Janeiro into the capital of an empire overnight. For sisters Maria and Isabel Azevedo, who have spent years running gold through the jungle to the city's port, the sudden arrival of princes, soldiers, and laws threatens the dangerous freedom they've carved out for themselves.
When a childhood friend is falsely accused of murder, Maria knows the truth will never matter unless the real killer is dragged before the palace gates. Joined by Victoria Cruz, a sharp-witted Portuguese refugee serving the volatile Queen Maria I, the women plunge into Rio's underworld-where corruption runs as deep as the jungle beyond the city walls.
Their hunt uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of the royal court itself, forcing each woman to decide what she is willing to risk for justice, love, and family. Lush, atmospheric, and driven by three unforgettable heroines, Jaguars and Other Game is a riveting historical adventure set at a turning point in Brazilian history.
For readers eager to continue their journey through Brazil's past, Brynn Barineau returns to the Amazon in her sweeping novel Jungle of Ashes, set amid the rise and ruin of Henry Ford's jungle empire.
