A citizen uprising flings a peaceful, yet misunderstood, secluded island kingdom into bitter war. With the royal family wiped out, instability reigns as the military and the parliament struggle for leadership.

Armed with a seething hatred of the country she was born in and when years of nightmares threaten to consume her, Ruth accepts treasure hunter and mercenary, Ken McCormick's job offer to join their billionaire funded expedition to uncover Kaminai's lost royal treasure.  Perils and death lie at every corner of thier journey through the minefields of war-torn Kaminai into the forgotten forest. Worse still, not everyone has the same agenda.

Instinct and years of hiding have taught Chaiwe that strangers mean no good. And though he knows that his bow and knives are not enough for these gun-toting mercenaries slashing their way through his forest, he still has a duty to the land he was meant to rule. In a battle against guns and deceit, the young prince summons every last bit of faith, for his beloved Kaminai.

Buddies, Ken McCormick and Jon Kruger have travelled the globe raiding sunken ships and robbing ancient tombs. Kaminai is going to be their easiest score yet, that is provided they enter the royal forest unscathed. What they don't count on though, is finding a remnant of the royal household alive and determined to drive them out. And somehow, this trip is no longer about treasure. They are thrown into opposite poles when one of them starts questioning their orders.
