Instead, she uses her beauty to manipulate her way to France, where she is welcomed into high society. But Connie once again finds herself at the mercy of vicious men whose lust for war and glory leads her to the front lines of the French battle in North America. When brother and sister find their fates converging once again, they realize that the revenge and redemption they both desperately seek may cost them their lives . . . . An epic tale of tragedy, loss, betrayal, and courage that takes the reader deep into the seething heart of the French and Indian War.
King of Kings.
An epic story of love, betrayal, courage, and war that brings together two of Wilbur Smith's greatest families in this long-awaited sequel to his worldwide bestseller Triumph of the Sun.
Cairo, 1888. It's a beautiful September day. Penrod Ballantyne and his fiancée Amber Benbrook stroll hand in hand. The future belongs to them only to take it.
But when Penrod's jealous ex-lover, Lady Agatha, begins to question his character, Amber leaves him and heads into the wilds of Abyssinia with her twin sister Saffron and her adventurer husband Ryder Courtney. On a mission to establish a silver mine, they make the perilous journey to the new capital of Addis Ababa, where they are welcomed by Menelik, King of Kings. But Italy has plans for Abyssinia, and there are rumors of invasion plans ...
Back in Cairo, a devastated Penrod seeks oblivion in the city's opium dens. When he is rescued by an old friend, Lorenzo de Fonseca, now in the Italian army, and given the chance to assess the situation around the Abyssinian border, Penrod seizes the opportunity to act.
As storm clouds thicken, and on opposite sides of the invasion, can Penrod and Amber find their way back to each other-no matter what?
