Deep in an unmapped corner of Africa, beyond swamps and desert and a lost civilization's ruins, rules a veiled queen who has waited two thousand years for her dead lover to be reborn. When Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey follow an ancient family relic into her kingdom, Leo finds himself the object of her terrible, ageless devotion. Ayesha, She-who-must-be-obeyed, commands fire and death with a glance, and offers Leo a gift no mortal has ever been given: immortality, at a price neither of them can yet imagine. Haggard's most famous novel remains one of the great romances of the fantastic.
