Ballantyne #1 A Falcon Flies (P)

In 1860, a brave pair sets sail for the African coast on a swift clipper under the command of a renegade American. Robyn Ballantyne and her brother, Morris, have longed for this moment to return to Africa and search for their missionary father who vanished in the wilderness. As they venture north from Cape Town, they follow a map left by a madman, leading them into a mysterious world of cascading waterfalls, dense jungle, and abundant wildlife. But as they trace their father's footsteps, they find themselves entangled in a brutal slave trade that ravages the land. To survive this treacherous journey, they must fight their way through battles on land and sea, facing their own fierce desires and emotions along the way.
