Rio de Janeiro, 1808.
An empire in exile. A city on the brink.
And three women willing to risk everything for justice.
As the Portuguese royal court flees Napoleon and remakes Brazil into an imperial capital, sisters Maria and Isabel Azevedo survive by running gold through the jungle—until new laws, new soldiers, and new dangers close in. When a childhood friend is wrongly imprisoned for murder, the sisters join forces with Victoria Cruz, a Portuguese refugee with secrets of her own, to hunt the real killer through a city rotting with corruption.
What begins as a desperate bid to save one life soon exposes a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of power. To succeed, the women must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for truth, loyalty, and love.
A vivid, high-stakes historical adventure, Jaguars and Other Game introduces readers to the bold storytelling Brynn Barineau continues in Jungle of Ashes, her sweeping novel set deep in the Amazon during the rise—and collapse—of Henry Ford's jungle utopia.
Praise
"A twenty-one-gun salute to Brynn Barineau and her tale of three bold women who more than held their own in the rough-and-tumble world of 1808 Rio de Janeiro. This atmospheric, lively debut had me turning the pages to cheer on the clever trio. A dazzling adventure!"
—Lynn Cullen, national bestselling author of The Woman with the Cure
