Drawn to ancient myths surrounding the dramatic cliffs of Fenda da Tundavala, Simone believes the region conceals something far more powerful than mineral wealth-an ancient force tied to the land itself, a discovery capable of altering humanity's future.
But in a country still haunted by civil war, secrets are enforced at gunpoint. Near Luanda, a routine excursion explodes into chaos when gunfire tears through the air.
