Overview

In a land where survival is never guaranteed, they must risk everything to protect it. Joss Brennan returns to Zimbabwe to find his homeland under siege, where he finds the land he loves on the brink of destruction. His family's wildlife reserve, a place of untamed beauty and fragile balance, is now a battleground-threatened by ruthless poachers, corrupt officials, and a criminal network willing to kill for profit. Haunted by the ghosts of his past and torn between duty and self-preservation, Joss is forced to fight for his people's future. Peta de Longe has dedicated her life to protecting Africa's wildlife, but the war against those who seek to exploit it is escalating. When Joss steps back into her world, their fates become dangerously intertwined. As they uncover a web of deceit stretching from the highest levels of power to the darkest corners of the bush, they realise the enemy is closer than they ever imagined. Betrayal lurks in the shadows, and trust is a risk neither can afford. With danger closing in and the wilderness turning into a battlefield, Joss and Peta must rely on each other to survive. But in Africa, where the rules of nature and man collide, not everyone makes it out alive. A pulse-pounding action-adventure infused with danger, suspense, and the raw beauty of Africa, Child of Africa is Blood Diamond meets The Ghost and the Darkness-a gripping story of courage, love, and the battle to protect a land worth dying for.
