During the First World War, French aristocrat Centaine de Thiry rescues fighter pilot Michael Courtney after he crashes near her home. Their love offers a fragile escape from the surrounding violence, but circumstances soon leave Centaine alone and pregnant, travelling towards Michael's family in South Africa. When her ship is lost off the Skeleton Coast, the journey becomes an ordeal of survival in an unforgiving environment. The dangers she encounters and the people who enter her life will reshape her future in ways she cannot foresee. Wilbur Smith follows Centaine from wartime Europe into southern Africa in a Courtney family adventure combining romance, determination and the struggle to make a new life after devastating loss.
