Publisher's Synopsis
When archaeologist, Tess Dickenson, arrives in Java she is determined to find the lost capital of the ancient Kingdom of Mataram and to bring its treasures to light. Yet as she pursues her search, she is confronted by a seemingly impossible memory of running through rice fields with a dark eyed boy and by an overpowering fear of the still active volcano, Mt Merapi, visible from the terrace of her house. At the same time, she is torn between intense feelings for two very different men.
