Secrets of the Mighty Amazon (The Goddesses of the World)

Description

In the depths of the Amazon forest, where few had set foot, there are secrets and mysteries that are better kept in the jungle.

Oblivious to this curse, impetuous conquistadores of the Sixteenth Centuries venture their luck in search for riches and fame.

Francisco de Orellana, a man with no fear and huge ambition, dreams of having his name listed beside Columbus, Cortés and Pizarro. Blessed with high intelligence and mastering his Toledo sword with high dexterity, he fights hostile natives and overcomes adversities to make the historical discovery of a mighty river–the Amazon. But his stance is softened when he meets the beautiful Amazon warrior–Iurupari–the princess of the Icamiaban tribe and the woman he falls madly in love with, who now carries his baby. Practised Captain Orellana comes across a set of adversities, he had never faced before. Will he arrive on time to rescue Iurupari and the baby whose plight might become a fatal banishment?
