Ellison and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Ghost Kings" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel likely written in the late 19th century, echoing the themes of adventure and exploration prevalent in that era. The story centers on Rachel Dove, a courageous young girl who lives with her missionary parents in the wild landscapes of Southern Africa. The narrative begins with the aftermath of personal tragedy, as Rachel mourns the loss of her baby brother, while the tension grows around her father's zealous mission to convert the local Zulu people amid their struggles and tragedies. The opening of the novel introduces Rachel’s complex family dynamics and her poignant experiences in a harsh environment. After a powerful storm, Rachel encounters Richard Darrien, a young man who saves her from drowning in a flood. This encounter sparks an immediate bond between the two, marked by their shared struggle against adversity and a growing sense of companionship. Their connection deepens through perilous circumstances, symbolizing perhaps a foreshadowing of greater trials and adventures to come, as Rachel grapples with the conflicting emotions stirred by her burgeoning feelings and the looming uncertainties of their respective futures.
