A BATTLE FOR THE HEART OF A COUNTRY AT WAR WITH ITSELF
Praise for Wilbur Smith
'A master storyteller' - Sunday Times
'No one does adventure quite like Smith' - Daily Mirror
'Best historical novelist' - Stephen King
South Africa, 1899 - the smouldering hostility between the Boers of the Transvaal and Orange Free State and the British colonies of the Cape and Natal is about to erupt. War is imminent and no one can stop it.
Colonel Penrod Ballantyne, hero of Abu Klea and Omdurman, is sent to Mafeking, 'the place of stones', to recruit and train men for the upcoming conflict. Amber, his wife, a successful novelist, accompanies him — eager to see more of the country her husband risks his life for. But when war is declared, Amber must flee with their baby son and pray for her husband's survival against impossible odds.
Eight hundred miles to the south, in Cape Town, Ryder Courtney — adventurer, maverick, industrialist — is using his wealth and connections to support the British war effort. His artist wife Saffron, frustrated by stuffy Cairo society, joins him with their three children. There is peace in the Courtney household, or so Saffron believes, until their eldest son, Leon, sneaks onto a train to the front line, determined to join his distinguished uncle, Penrod Ballantyne, in changing history. Saffron and Ryder have no choice but to leave the safety of the Cape Colony and follow. Leon is convinced that his parents lack honor and courage. Little does he realize that he has no chance of escaping the people they used to be.
Two families torn apart, caught in a battle for the soul of a country at war with itself.
