The White Lady Road
Book Two of The Namib Frontiers Series

After exposing a criminal line hidden beneath the silence of Etosha, Simon Shield and Elbereth are drawn into an even older and more dangerous struggle in Namibia’s north-west.

A younger retired lawyer, John Young, asks for help from his discreet luxury camp in the koppies beyond the ordinary tourist roads. A guide has disappeared. Men with ministry language and contractor boots are taking an interest in old tracks they once ignored. And the route beneath Brandberg — the road most people know only through the legend of the White Lady — has begun attracting the kind of quiet official attention serious people learn to distrust.

What begins as a mystery of missing roads and altered permissions becomes something far larger: a hidden attempt to control land, water, movement, heritage, and access to what lies beneath the stone.

From Swakopmund to Brandberg, the Petrified Forest, and the harsher reaches toward Kaokoland, The White Lady Road is a powerful Namibian story of desert memory, hidden power, and the fight to protect living people from being written out of their own land.

The second novel in The Namib Frontiers Series.
