| Summary |
"When Reuel Briggs, a medical student at Harvard, witnesses the performance of the beautiful singer Dianthe Lusk at a concert, he's infatuated by her talent and beauty. That next morning, Reuel is called to treat the victims of a train accident. Among them is Dianthe, seemingly dead, but he revives her using a form of mesmerism. Reuel falls in love with her and proposes marriage. Wanting to provide for his fiancée, he undertakes a dangerous but lucrative archaeological expedition to Ethiopia where he discovers more than treasure. Now his special abilities begin to make sense as he learns the whole truth about his ancestors"-- Provided by publisher. |
