“Prepare for adventure, romance, and intrigue in nineteenth-century South Africa. Linda Lee Chaikin has done her homework, exploring the world of diamonds and goldmines in the land that would become Victorian Rhodesia. A page-turner of a story told by a veteran novelist.”
–Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Thorn in My Heart

“I love, love, love this series by Linda Lee Chaikin! It has everything I’m looking for right now in a good read–memorable characters, intrigue, believable romance, fascinating history. If the third in the series was out, I wouldn’t be writing this…I’d be squirreled away, reading!”
