Betrayed and left helpless before the priests of Opar, Tarzan must fight once more for survival, loyalty, and honor in one of his most dramatic adventures.
In Tarzan and the Golden Lion, the lord of the jungle finds himself drugged and delivered into the power of the fanatical priests of Opar. Once again, La, High Priestess of the Flaming God, risks everything to save him-but her own position has become perilous, and betrayal threatens them both.
To secure her safety, Tarzan leads La into the legendary Valley of Diamonds, accompanied by Jad-bal-ja, his fierce and faithful golden lion. Yet danger presses from all sides. Before them lies a savage land where brutal gorillas dominate submissive men. Behind them stalks Esteban Miranda, a cunning impostor who bears Tarzan's exact likeness and schemes to seize his identity, his reputation, and his place in the world.
Blending jungle ferocity, lost-city adventure, and high intrigue, this novel deepens the mythology of Tarzan's world, testing not only his strength but the very meaning of identity and kingship in the wild.
