Centaine de Thiry's sheltered life in France changes when a wounded fighter pilot, Michael Courtney, crashes near her home during the First World War. Their love offers hope amid destruction, but Centaine soon finds herself alone and expecting his child. Seeking Michael's family in South Africa, she embarks on a journey that becomes another struggle for survival when she is shipwrecked off the Skeleton Coast. The desert presents dangers unlike anything she has known, and help may arrive from unexpected sources. Wilbur Smith brings wartime romance, adventure and the harsh beauty of southern Africa together in a Courtney novel about resilience, ambition and a young woman's determination to build a future from devastating loss.
