Inseparable since birth, Theo and Connie Courtney are torn apart by the tragic death of their parents.
Theo, wracked with guilt, seeks salvation in combat, joining the British in the war against the French and Indian army.

But when their tryst is discovered, Theo is left outcast in the wilderness, desperately fighting for his life. Determined to reclaim his honour and save Abigail, Theo does whatever it takes to survive.

As the siblings find their destinies converging once more, they realise that the vengeance and redemption they both desperately seek could cost them their lives . . .

Customer Reviews
Why leave aftica
Wilbur smiths books have gone down hill since he started using other writers. I have not read any of their own work and those books may be great but they have taken some of the authors style out of the story and you can tell someone else wrote it.
For this particular book.... such a shame to see the story actually have nothing to do with Africa at all for the first time. Africa is the common romantic theme for all Wilbur’s books and sadly this one lacked it. very disappointed
Not Wilbur Smith
It’s a good read but definitely not by Wilbur Smith.
