In an epic that stretches from the end of one world to the next, New York Times bestselling author Wilbur Smith chronicles the fate of a warring family - and a continent at war with itself...
Between the hunter and the prey, Shasa Courtney was groomed by his French-born mother to take control of the Courtney Mining and Finance Company, whose font of wealth was sown deep beneath African soil. But Shasa"s half-brother, Manfred, had been trained by his renegade father to be a hunter - of lions, and of men.
The victim and the survivor, as the two boys became men, they took on the extraordinary powers of each parent: Shasa, a man in tune with his continent and its people; Manfred who, like his father, was willing to shape his world with a gun. So when the winds of World War II reached Africa, each brother chose a side...
Is a saga of betrayal, violence, and treasure...
Now, the future of a young nation is being forged amidst a clash of civilizations, ideals, and blood feuds. And as Shasa and Manfred rise to power, a land of beauty and suffering will be remade - for better or for worse - in an image of their own.
