In a jungle of hidden gold and false faces, Tarzan has one fierce ally: the lion he raises.
Tarzan, the English lord raised by apes, protects his jungle and his friends with strength and cunning. Beside him stands Jad-bal-ja, a golden lion whose loyalty reaches beyond training. In Edgar Rice Burroughs's adventure, their bond meets a world of pursuit, greed and danger.
Opar draws the story toward a hidden city rich in gold, the remains of an ancient civilization. Its priestess, La, holds a deep devotion to Tarzan. Meanwhile, the cunning outsider Esteban Miranda seeks to turn Tarzan's name and the jungle's riches to his own advantage. When greed wears a false face, loyalty matters more than ever.

From the 15-minute summary · Key idea 1
Tarzan rules a jungle of his own
By the time of this book, Tarzan is a known figure to readers. He is John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, born to English parents and raised by the great apes of Africa. He has the strength of the jungle and the mind of an educated man, and he moves between both worlds.
Burroughs opens in the wild, where Tarzan hunts, fights and keeps watch over the land he knows best. The jungle in these books is crowded with lions, apes, elephants and tribes, and every trail may hold danger. Tarzan survives by cunning as much as by muscle, and the author never lets him forget that the forest has rules.
