About this listen
Cairo, 1887. A beautiful September day. Penrod Ballantyne and his fiancée, Amber Benbrook, stroll hand in hand. The future is theirs for the taking.
But when Penrod's jealous former lover, Lady Agatha, plants doubt about his character, Amber leaves him and travels to 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 dangerous journey to the new capital of Addis Ababa, where they are welcomed by Menelik, the King of Kings.
Back in Cairo, a devastated Penrod seeks oblivion in the city's opium dens. He is rescued by an old friend, who is now in the Italian army, and offered the chance to join the military efforts. Italy has designs on Abyssinia, and there are rumours of a plan to invade....
With storm clouds gathering, and on opposing sides of the invasion, can Penrod and Amber find their way back to one another - against all the odds?

Bloody Brilliant!
this was another awesome story. The European/English based story was well represented by Elliot Chapman. His command of accents and such make s this so much more enjoyable!
Thoroughly recommend for any Wilbur Smith fan.

Wonderfully written and beautifully executed!
Happy to recommend this book to anyone who is curious about the Ballentine saga! The journey continues with Saffron and Amber and Ryder Courtney! Gripping and graphic the elements of the story weave a stunning narrative and the narration is, as always, very easy and soothing to listen to. Looking forward to the next exciting chapter.
