In this "hypnotic, violent, unsparing" (A.J. Banner, USA TODAY
bestselling author) thriller from the author of the "haunting, twisting
thrill ride" (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author) The
River at Night, a young woman leaves behind everything she knows to
take on the Bolivian jungle, but her excursion abroad quickly turns into
a fight for her life.
Lily Bushwold thought she'd found the antidote to endless foster care
and group homes: a teaching job in Bolivia. As soon as she could steal
enough cash for the plane, she was on it.
When the gig falls through, world-weary Lily decides to stay in Bolivia
when an intense passion finds her in the form she least expected: Omar,
a savvy, handsome local man who'd abandoned his life as a hunter in
Ayachero--a remote jungle village--to try his hand at city life.
When Omar learns that a jaguar has killed his four-year-old nephew in
Ayachero, he gives Lily a choice: Stay alone in the unforgiving city, or
travel to the last in a string of ever-more-isolated river towns in the
jungles of Bolivia. Thirty-foot anaconda? Puppy-sized spiders? Vengeful
shamans with unspeakable powers? Lovestruck Lily is oblivious. She
follows Omar to this ruthless new world of lawless poachers, bullheaded
missionaries, and desperate indigenous tribes driven to the brink of
extinction. To survive, Lily must navigate the jungle--its wonders as
well as its terrors--using only her wits and resilience.
"Gripping, breathtaking, and exquisitely told--Into the Jungle pulls
you into another world, returning you forever transformed" (Wendy
Walker, USA TODAY bestselling author).
