When archaeologist Annja Creed is hired to find the lost city of Promise in Brazil, she is more than intrigued. Legends abound of a magical place where slaves were rumored to have discovered the secret to eternal youth and life. But strangers are not welcome in Promise. Annja soon learns that the residents have gone to extreme lengths to guard their precious secret. Making her way from the steamy port of Bel m to the brutal slums of Northeast Brazil, Annja faces unexpected peril, from poisoned arrows to Amazonian anacondas. As she navigates through a land where spirituality collides with the material world, Annja must distinguish between what is real and what is imagined for fear of making a wrong move. Because anyone or any thing could be her enemy. And she's getting too close....
Annja Creed's life has changed after she became the heir to Joan d'Arc's sword and assumed Joan's role as a Champion for Good. This time Annja finds that her destiny is not as black and white as she first thought. In Secret of the Slaves Annja is hired by the famous and charismatic rock star Publico to track down a legendary city of slaves in South America. The story Annja is given turns not to be totally true and her ideals are shaken.

Annja Creed is a very interesting character. These books are quick, fun reads without the preachiness of some recent action fiction. Sort of "Witchblade" meets "Tomb Raider". If you know and like the "Rogue Angel" series, then then you will definitely enjoy this book.
Another interesting chapter for Annja Creed...

This book continues the tales of Annja Creed. I won't spoil any of the plot in this review. The story is pretty well told, and the book does move quickly (as all of them seem to do). This book was not my favorite for some of its slower portions trying to tell story that felt rushed or squished. However, there were two or three plot turns that made my jaw drop in anticipation of the next chapter. These books move quickly, but are really quite fun. I enjoyed this chapter (perhaps not as much as some others), but would recommend it for the fans of the Rogue Angel series.
