King of Kings.

An epic story of love, betrayal, courage and war that brings together Wilbur Smith's two greatest families in this highly anticipated sequel to his worldwide bestseller, Triumph of the Sun.

Cairo, 1888. A beautiful September day. Penrod Ballantyne and his fiancee Amber Benbrook walk hand in hand. The future is theirs just for the taking.

But when Penrod's jealous former lover, Lady Agatha, begins to doubt his character, Amber leaves him and travels to the wilds of Abyssinia with her twin sister Saffron and her adventurer husband Ryder Courtenay. With a mission to establish a silver mine, they make a dangerous journey to the new capital of Addis Ababa, where they are greeted by Menelik, the King of Kings. But Italy has plans for Abyssinia, and there are rumors of invasion plans...

Returning to Cairo, a devastated Penrod seeks oblivion in the city's opium dens. When he is rescued by his old friend Lorenzo de Fonseca, now serving in the Italian army, and given the opportunity to assess the situation around the Abyssinian border, Penrod seizes the opportunity to act.

With storm clouds gathering and on opposite sides of an invasion, can Penrod and Amber find their way back to each other—against all odds?
