Synopsis

Allan and the Holy Flower as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition. 
Deep in the heart of uncharted Africa, where legends walk among men and the jungle whispers secrets of the past, Allan Quatermain embarks on one of his most perilous adventures yet. 
It begins with a dying man’s tale—a story of an impossible flower, golden as the sun, growing in the hidden kingdom of the Pongo, a fearsome tribe ruled by superstition and blood rituals. But this is no ordinary orchid. It is sacred. It is worshipped. And it is guarded by a monstrous, white-furred god with the strength of ten men. 
Driven by curiosity and the promise of untold riches, Quatermain assembles a band of explorers, including the enigmatic Brother John—a wandering scholar who seems to know more than he admits. Together, they plunge into the unknown, navigating treacherous swamps, outwitting savage tribes, and uncovering a mystery that will test their courage to the core. 
But the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes—this is no mere flower hunt. The Pongo people harbor a terrifying secret, and within their forbidden land lies not only the legendary orchid but a lost goddess, a captive who could change the fate of an entire kingdom. 
Hunted, betrayed, and forced into a deadly confrontation with a beast from mankind’s nightmares, Allan Quatermain must fight to escape the Pongo’s wrath and bring the truth of the Holy Flower back to the world. 
Adventure, danger, and discovery await in this pulse-pounding classic by H. Rider Haggard, a master of lost-world storytelling. Are you ready to step into the jungle?
