Synopsis
In the harsh and beautiful land of South Africa, races clash in an unequal struggle for justice that divides a family and inflames a whole continent. Manfred De La Rey, hard and lean as a desert lion, allows a blind, raging anger to catapult him to a dangerous success. While Shasa Courtney, his brother, strives to give meaning to his country's uncertain future, he is trapped in the inevitable rush of history.

From the Back Cover
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,
Sasha 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 Sasha's 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: Sasha, 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 Sasha 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.
"You can get lost in Wilbur Smith...with his swashbuckling novels of Africa."―Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
