Synopsis

In 1910, Scottish aristocrat Olive MacLeod journeys to Africa to find her missing fiancé, the naturalist Boyd Alexander. Her astonishing quest takes her through jungles, swamps, and deserts, where she encounters cobras, crocodiles, a leopard cult, and even adopts two lion cubs. As Olive navigates shadowy colonial powers and an invisible Islamic warlord, she uncovers secrets that challenge her assumptions and reveal the true reason for her expedition.
