25-year-old safari guide Richard Field was living his dream—leading tourists through wild Africa in search of lions. But one step off the beaten path would change everything. What began as a routine tracking mission turned into a nightmare. He came face-to-face with death in its rawest, most primal form. After stepping out of his vehicle to follow fresh paw prints, he was suddenly ambushed by a charging lioness defending her young. Knocked to the ground and mauled, Richard was moments from death as the lioness sank her teeth into his skull. A desperate fight for survival. And a moment so raw, so intimate, it would leave Richard clinging to life.
