Publisher's Synopsis
THE CAPE COLONY, 19TH CENTURY SOUTH AFRICA. Jamie Fyvie and Iain McColl sail for Cape Town to wage war on the ELOS (EnLightened OneS), a dark force which has infiltrated the British and Cape Colonial governments and taken control of the British and Colonial armed forces in the Cape Colony. Jamie and Iain must crush a plot to wipe out the Xhosa clans of the Eastern Cape, the surviving prisoners to be sold into slavery in America. The voyage to the Cape sees them battle with mutineers to save not only their own lives, but also those of two young ladies whose lives will become intertwined with theirs as part of their future in the Cape Colony. An ELOS executioner pursues Jamie and Iain, hell-bent on murdering them for the clues to ancient relics and treasure buried by the Knights Templar five hundred years ago. The Xhosa fight a bloody war against the British Army on the frontier, dying to win back their lands and freedom against a general who takes no prisoners.
