White, author, Spirit of Empire series“A rich and closely observed story filled with rare insights into the minds — and hearts — of animals. The story of Lillian Drake (whose childhood in Africa has secretly bound her to a hidden world of powerful spirits) will take you from the known to the unknown. The final battle between good and evil is worthy of the last reel of a Hollywood blockbuster.” – Gar Smith, author, Nuclear Roulette and former Editor, Common Ground MagazineVeterinarian Lillian Drake is the only person who can save our souls from certain death, but first she must confront the truth hidden inside Africa’s mysterious voodoo culture.Born in Africa and almost killed on her tenth birthday by an unholy black leopard, Lillian Drake flees to the United States with her father, a Baptist missionary who promises her a “normal” life. Bound by her love of wild animals, Lill grows up to become a respected veterinarian. Twenty years after leaving Africa, the suspicious death of her husband and a sudden turn of events involving a white African elephant force Lill to return. Within hours of landing in Africa, Lill is faced with the reality of who and what she really is and discovers those whispered childhood stories of witchdoctors and the Mbali jungle are far more than simple superstitions. Voodoo and the ability to see souls sets her life in motion – and if she’s not careful, sorcery and black magic will end it.
