The young Allan Quatermain is bound for strange adventures, in the company of the ill-fated Pieter Retief and the Boer Commission, on an embassy to the Zulu despot, Dingaan. Yet he is bound, too, for one of the deepest romances of his life – for in Marie he tells of his courtship and marriage to his first wife, Marie Marais.

Marie, along with the novels Child of Storm and Finished, make up the Zulu Trilogy, a sub-series within the Allan Quatermain saga. These tales tell of the Zulu wizard, Zikali, who gains his revenge on the Zulu nation and its king, Cetawayo. These are tales of magic, revenge, and something darker and far more sinister.
