A riverboat glides down the Ugambi, its crew finally pausing for a brief rest after a hard push against the current. When they reach the northern bank, a gaunt, half‑clothed stranger emerges, his eyes rimmed with tears, pleading for rescue and a way out of a land that has tormented him for years. He introduces himself in broken English as Mikael Sabroff, offering only fragmented hints of a dark past that he cannot fully recall.

Taken aboard the Marjorie W, the stranger receives food and a place to recover, while the crew watches his frail body slowly regain strength. Yet his appearance – tattered clothes, hollow cheeks, and a lingering aura of suffering – marks him as more than a simple castaway. As he begins to speak of the jungles, hidden dangers, and the shadow of a ruthless foe, the air fills with a sense of looming conflict that will draw him deeper into the untamed world of the African wild.
