He will soon discover his father’s cunning and the disastrous consequences it will have for his own young life. Orphans of Eldorado is a magical retelling of a legendary expedition.

Rich young man somewhere on the banks of the Amazon doesn't get the girl and squanders the fortune left him by his rubber baron father.
