Thun'da, King of the Congo #3

Thun'da discovers a cursed ancient axe in the ruins of Kabala and must wield it against his enemies the Basuli warriors—but the weapon exacts a deadly price on all who grip it. When Arab slavers capture his ally Pha and steal the axe for themselves, the jungle king must find a way to neutralize the poison-laden blade and stop the slave traders before the curse claims anyone else. A thrilling tale of jungle peril, ancient curses, and Thun'da's relentless quest to protect his domain.

Fishmen with webbed hands raid the Pogoti village for slaves, capturing Pha and dragging her to the sunken city of Laarda beneath the Mombeela River. Thun'da plunges into the murky depths to rescue her, navigating the ancient city's flooded passages and facing off against Dwyala's forces—but his greatest trial awaits in the form of a colossal prehistoric creature that dwells in the dragon lair's depths. With Pha's life hanging in the balance, the jungle king must find a way to overcome a monster that seems unstoppable.

When the witch doctor Mumf'ooka uses cunning tricks and staged omens to convince the jungle tribes that he can see the future, Thun'da grows suspicious—and discovers the fraud behind the "prophecies." As Mumf'ooka's influence spreads across the Congo and his followers turn violent, Thun'da must expose the trickster before the tribes tear the jungle apart under his false vision of power.

When the brutal "Bull" Mullins stumbles into Cave Girl's prehistoric domain, he brings cruelty and greed that clash violently with the jungle law she upholds. Determined to exploit the valley's riches and capture the girl who defies him, Mullins sets a trap—but his own brutality and the bonds he's forged through violence may be exactly what seals his fate.
