Generations of the Courtney family have come a long way from the depths of the gold mines to the pinnacle of power. They believe that the land of South Africa, red as blood, rightfully belongs to them, and are ready to fight for it to the end. Shasa Courtney, an influential man and the owner of a huge fortune, decides to sacrifice his principles in the name of uniting the country and enters into an alliance with his half-brother Manfred, although their enmity, which broke out in his youth, has not gone away. But sometimes, for the sake of a good purpose, you can forget about long-standing hatred. This is what Shasa thinks, not suspecting that his family keeps secrets more dangerous than the machinations of their worst enemies. It is known where good intentions lead, and very soon Mr. Courtney will understand what it is - a personal hell... Continuation of the epic about the indomitable Courtneys, whose motto is: “I will endure.” The novel is being published in a new translation.
