Helen of the Congo

📖 The Scoop

Two poachers capture a black-furred creature in the jungles of the Congo, but underneath this creature's fur lies the most astounding being ever to call itself human - a beautiful woman who has discovered the secret of eternal love, and has been searching for her lost lover through life after life for over three-thousand years.

Songgirl is a member of a tribe hidden deep inside the Congo rainforest. Her people predate modern humans, and have acquired books and scrolls no longer available to the outside world. Songgirl has studied hard to learn this arcane knowledge with the sole intent of finding her one true love, who has become lost in time and the world of illusion. In her search, Songgirl has learned the true meaning of love and uses her knowledge to change the world around her -- starting with Paris.

Songgirl is captured by poachers in the Congo rainforest and is about to be sold for scientific experimentation in Paris, when she makes her escape, and soon all of Paris is in love with her, and the poachers' plans go further and further astray.
