Courtney's next thrilling family adventure from the perennial best-selling series by fan-favorite Wilbur Smith.

In a triumphant return to his beloved Courtney series, Wilbur Smith introduces us to the famous family's boldest new member, Saffron Courtney.< /p>

Saffron grows on a sprawling Kenyan estate, under the watchful eye of her father, prominent businessman and distinguished war veteran Leon Courtney. Her childhood was idyllic until a family tragedy forced her to grow up much faster than necessary. As she grows into a spirited teenager, her thirst for knowledge and adventure leads her to England, where she is inevitably drawn into the heart of the gathering storm in the lead-up to World War II.

Gerhard von Meerbach is the privileged and idealistic younger brother Conrad von Meerbach, heir to an industrial fortune and an ardent supporter of the Nazi Party. Gerhard tries his best to stay true to his principles in an increasingly cruel world. His friendship with a Jew puts him in danger and forces him to take a stand against the forces of evil that have taken over his country and his family. But unknowingly, he falls into a trap that could cost him everything he holds dear.

With World War II looming over them all, Saffron and Gerhard's worlds collide - but will there be anything? more to bring them together than to tear them apart?

A story of love in the time of heroes, "War Cry" is the exciting new episode in Wilbur Smith's epic tale of one beloved family.
