FLAME OF THE LOWVELD — UNTAMED LOWVELD SERIES (Book 1 of 8)
Set in the untamed wilderness of South Africa’s Eastern Transvaal during its gold rush, Flame of the Lowveld is an electrifying saga of passion, betrayal, and unyielding courage. In a world where cattle rustlers, outlaws, and adventurers carve their paths with revolvers and reckless ambition, the story unfolds amidst rugged ravines and lawless plains.
At its heart is Johan Grimbeek, a relentless tracker and stoic adventurer, haunted by the need to avenge a brutal murder. His path crosses with Juanita Perreira, a fiery and resilient young woman torn between her shadowed family legacy and a yearning for redemption. Together, they navigate a deadly game of deception, loyalty, and survival against forces that threaten to destroy everything they hold dear. Johan’s pursuit of justice leads him into a treacherous ravine, where he discovers a group of armed cattle thieves. But this is only the beginning. A near-fatal encounter sets the stage for an uneasy alliance between Johan and Juanita, who hides secrets of her own, bound to a notorious figure whose past is entangled with Johan’s mission. As tension simmers and allegiances are tested, sparks of attraction flicker between the two, though their trust is fragile.
From heart-stopping chases across the wilderness to intense moments of raw emotion, Flame of the Lowveld masterfully balances sweeping romance with pulse-pounding action. Set against a richly detailed backdrop of 19th-century South Africa, this is a tale of love’s endurance, the search for justice, and the scars of choices made in the heat of survival. Will Johan’s unyielding quest for revenge cost him everything? And can Juanita escape the sins of her father to find her own path? In a land where danger lurks at every turn, only the brave survive, and only the fearless find redemption.
