Ralph Ballantyne follows his father Zouga into the pursuit of opportunity in southern Africa, drawn by hunting, gold and the expansion of British power. Their ambitions unfold in a land whose peoples will not quietly accept exploitation and dispossession. As resistance gathers, the Ballantynes and those around them become caught in a violent struggle whose consequences will reach far beyond their own lifetimes. The story then moves forward to a later generation, when the unresolved legacy of the past still shapes the lives of their descendants. The third Ballantyne novel combines family saga and historical adventure, tracing the cost of ambition and the persistence of conflict across a changing African landscape.
