Title
The Daughters of the Darkness - Paperback
by Luke Phillips (Author)
"Absolutely fantastic novel! From start to finish, a rollercoaster of thrills, chills, death and life. It grips and doesn't let go till the very end." Patti Lisenbee - Verified Purchase
"This evokes the best of Patterson, Boddington, Ruark, Hemingway, and Capstick - honestly one of the best written books I have read in some time. Far outshines the previous novel in the series." Amazon Customer - Verified Purchase
1898. Tsavo, East Africa. The Ghost and The Darkness - two maneless, pale-coated male lions - slaughtered over 130 people in nine months, terrorising the workers of the Uganda Railway in one of the most documented man-eating episodes in history.
Now, history is repeating itself.
A new pride - Simba Giza, the Daughters of the Darkness - has risen in Tsavo. Unusually pale and devastatingly effective, they have claimed a bloody legacy of their own. Among their victims: the wife of conservationist and former man-eater hunter Thomas Walker.
Seven years on, Thomas has rebuilt his life in the Highlands of Scotland with his fiancée, Catherine. But when a message arrives from his friend Jelani - a tracker and safari operator deep in Tsavo - Thomas learns that the pride that took Amanda now numbers twenty-two, and is growing bolder. Jelani's brother has been taken. Jelani believes he is next.
Returning to Africa for the first time since he scattered Amanda's ashes in sight of Kilimanjaro, Thomas finds the situation far more dangerous than any man-eater alone. A self-declared warlord and arms trafficker named Kanu Sultan has claimed dominion over the wildlife of the region, using fear - and the lions - to drive out those who oppose him.
Outnumbered and outgunned, Thomas and a small band of allies must restore balance to one of Africa's most iconic landscapes - before the Daughters claim them too.
The Daughters of the Darkness is a gripping wildlife thriller rooted in the true history of the Tsavo man-eaters - perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith, Peter Capstick, and high-stakes African adventure fiction.
"We often look to escape the everyday by seeking out the dark places, where something monstrous waits in the void. Luke Phillips takes you there, where man is still well and truly on the menu." Shannon Legro - Host of Into the Fray, one of the most widely listened-to paranormal and true crime podcasts in North America
Author Biography
The Daughters of the Darkness is the second novel of British author and writer Luke Phillips. Having studied as a zoologist, his imagination has always been captivated by the darker side of our unnatural history.
From trekking through California looking for Bigfoot to camping out in the Highlands on the trail of real-life reported big cats, Luke has strayed from the mainstream into the eerie world of cryptozoology. There, truth may well be stranger and far scarier than fiction!
