Only failures are falling on the Uthram family. Brothers Leonard and Thomas make an oath to each other - to return everything they lost in England, or die in a foreign land. The dark continent greets one of them with despair and a cry for help. “Try to help me and you will be well rewarded. Even if you fail to help me and remain alive, you will still receive a reward!” In a world of slave traders and gold miners, such a proposal from a wild-eyed woman can frighten or make you laugh. But for a person who has nothing left to lose, it is not at all difficult to make a choice. This volume of the “Masters of Adventure” series includes two novels by Haggard with elements of mysticism about the search for treasure - “Men of the Mist” and “Benita”.
