About the book
In 1859, Merrick Tremayne, a former smuggler for the East India Company, is confined to his home in Cornwall due to a serious leg injury. Despite the risks, he accepts a mission from the India Office to journey to Peru to obtain quinine, a vital treatment for malaria. Aware of the dangers involved and his own physical limitations, Merrick nonetheless embarks on the expedition to the depths of the Amazon.
During his journey, Merrick encounters Raphael, a mysterious priest whom the villagers fear with tales of dark magic and eerie occurrences in the cursed woods. As Merrick delves deeper into the secrets of the region, he discovers that Raphael holds the key to a legacy passed down by his ancestors, a treasure more precious than quinine and fraught with peril.
