Authorship not stated

You are Rachel Dove, fifteen, gathering food on a river island as drought pushes your missionary family deeper into Pondoland. A storm turns the dry channel to flood before you can cross back, and a stranger, Richard Darrien, wades in and pulls you to high ground as his horse is swept away. Stranded overnight in a cave, tending his wound and holding off circling lions, you share a vision of him bound to a tree, a warning neither of you can explain. Dawn brings rescue and sends both families apart.
