When archaeologist Annja Creed is hired to find the lost
city of Promise in Brazil, she is more than intrigued.
Legends abound of a magical place where slaves were
rumored to have discovered the secret to eternal youth and
life.
But strangers are not welcome in Promise.
Annja soon learns that the residents have gone to
extreme lengths to guard their precious secret. Making her
way from the steamy port of Belém to the brutal slums of
Northeast Brazil, Annja faces unexpected peril, from
poisoned arrows to Amazonian anacondas. As she navigates
through a land where spirituality collides with the
material world, Annja must distinguish between what is
real and what is imagined for fear of making a wrong move.
Because anyone or anything could be her enemy.
