After this one sitting and staring at me from my shelves for so long, I finally made the leap and read it, and I am so happy that I did!

Imagine Indiana Jones, but a botanist, travelling into the secret depths of Peru in search of trees to steal to use as a treatment for malaria, meeting mysterious locals on the way. Now imagine a little steampunk thrown in... and a little fantasy... mix well and enjoy.

This book is a wild ride and an emotional ride, too, and I highly recommend it for fans of historical fiction with a dash of fantasy.
