ABOUT TOMB RAIDER

Lara Croft, daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft, was raised to be an aristocrat from birth. After finishing school at the age of 21, Lara's marriage into wealth had seemed assured, but on her way home from a skiing trip, her chartered plane had crashed deep in the heart of the Himalayas. The only survivor, Lara, learned how to depend on her wits to stay alive in hostile conditions, a world away from her sheltered upbringing. Two weeks later, when she walked into the village of Tokakeriby, her experiences had a profound effect on her. Unable to stand, the claustrophobic suffocating atmosphere of upper-class British soviet, she realized that she was only truly alive when she was traveling alone. Over the eight following years she acquired an intimate knowledge of ancient civilization across the globe. Her family soon disowned their prodigal daughter, and she turned to writing to fund her trips. Famed for discovering several ancient sites of profound archaeological interest, she made a name for herself by publishing travel books and detailed journals of her exploits.
