Description
A ruthless Victorian sportsman embarks on a perilous expedition to hunt the Walia ibex, one of the rarest trophies in the world. His pursuit carries him into the remote Ethiopian highlands, where ambition, endurance, and cultural conflict test the limits of his courage. Against a backdrop of political intrigue and unforgiving wilderness, the quest becomes far more dangerous than any ordinary sporting adventure. Rich in atmosphere and suspense, this historical adventure explores obsession, imperial arrogance, and the price of treating nature and people as prizes.
