About this ebook
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.
And she's getting too close .

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This one is a little different than most of the Rogue Angel books. Annja is a bit more gullible and there's considerably less archeology. The book did not suffer from a lack of action though. Not a bad addition to the Rogue Angel series.
