Change comes even deep in the jungle. But, does life always change for the better. Raina's isolated village is threatened by a drug lord who wants her people to cultivate his illegal crops. Even her power to shift into an ocelot cannot help them. Hans Bernhard zur Lippe is one of General Rommel's elite tank commanders. During a routine scouting mission on the edge of the Sahara Desert, his tank is engulfed by a sandstorm, a violent, eldrich storm that explodes through the seams and crevices of the steel machine he commands and kills his crew. Only he survives, waking up in a verdant, green forest - lost, alone, and 70 years in the future. At his side kneels a lovely, young woman with golden eyes, a young woman who asks for his help. A young woman whose secret will test the depths of his beliefs.
