Publisher's Summary

In this brand-new Courtney Series novel by best-selling author Wilbur Smith comes an epic story of tragedy, loss, betrayal and courage that brings the listener deep into the seething heart of the French and Indian War.

1754. Inseparable since birth and growing up in India, Theo and Connie Courtney are torn apart by the tragic death of their parents.

Theo, wracked with guilt, seeks salvation in combat and conflict, joining the British in the war against the French and Indian army. Connie, believing herself abandoned by her brother, and abused and brutalised by a series of corrupt guardians, makes her way to France, where she is welcomed into high society. Here, she once again finds herself at the mercy of vicious men, whose appetite for war and glory lead her to the frontlines of the French battlefield in North America.

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....

Not up to par with previous books from the series.

Seemed to jump around a lot with no focus on reality.
Too many chance meetings with no real expectation of how it could happen in reality.

Too many inconsistencies

When I watch a movie with lazy accuracies I get bothered and the movie starts seeming dumb. This book had so many inaccuracies that could not have occurred. ie spring time and resting by the stream to eat blueberries. Ummm. Blueberries aren’t ripe till late summer.
Timelines and dates were inconsistent. The story was predictable and not one of Wilbur Smiths best. Probably because it was written by his cohort.
