Nyoka the Jungle Girl #16

Nyoka searches the jungle for two missing Nopa warriors after being knocked unconscious, only to discover stolen jewels hidden in a tent—and runs into hunters Phelps and Sewell, who claim innocence in the theft. When the warriors ambush them outside, Nyoka and her newfound allies must escape with the jewels intact and prove their case to the Faru people.

With mistrust running high and the stolen treasure fueling the conflict, Nyoka faces her toughest challenge yet in keeping the peace.
