The River God Orpantha

Aged barely twenty in the year 1910, the sensually, god-like Lorenzo, an illegitimate son of a Jesuit Priest, has a divine understanding of the Amazon rainforest, and is gifted with the ability of thought transference.

Having an unnatural ability to remain underwater for longer than is humanly possible, the golden-haired Lorenzo is acknowledged by many warlike tribes, as being the second coming of the legendry River God, Orpantha.

Inevitably, his presence amongst the survivors of an isolated English family soon becomes the catalyst for a ménage a trois, pitting brother against sister, until finally, a truce is formed when they are abandoned with no chance of escape; and little hope of rescue from that remote region.

Hampered by mutilation, and battling the madness of a younger sister, every trace of the family’s strict, Christian upbringing, is systematically stripped away, in a deadly struggle to survive attacks by Head-hunters, Anacondas, and Black caiman.

Added to the unlikely prospects of any forthcoming rescue, their chance of survival is drastically reduced with the pregnancy of both sisters, one verging on madness, whilst the other, an even more unlikely candidate, is the much older and spinsterish sister.
