On April 15, 1960 a plane crashed in the untamed African jungle. The survivor—a young girl!

Luana grew up in the mysterious African jungle--watched over and cared for by a panther, a lion and a chimp. She could hold her own tripping through the tree branches or even stalking animals. For fifteen years Luana led an idyllic life in her jungle habitat. Then suddenly she is drawn into the world of men--a world she does not understand. Heading into darkest Africa, a safari is set upon by the treacherous and deadly Wanderi tribesmen. When Luana rescues the party, she finds herself hopelessly enmeshed in the adventurers' fortunes. She finds herself strangely drawn to Isabel Hardi, who is looking for her father--and dangerously attracted to George Barrett, who is searching for a city of gold.
