    About this series

    A Courtney Series adventure – Book 1 in the When the Lion Feeds trilogy

    BROTHERS BY BIRTH. ENEMIES UNTIL DEATH.

    Heirs to their father's fortune, destiny divides the Courtney twins from the start. Sean Courtney is strong, determined and adventurous, while Garrick Courtney is eager to escape the hardships of cattle-rearing, preferring to stay indoors with a book.

    But when Garrick is suddenly forced to take ownership of the family farm, Sean must explore the opportunities awaiting him: the rush and horrors of the Zulu Wars, the women who will fall for his charms, the rise and fall of gold fever and the deadly thrills of big game hunting on the African plains.

    Meanwhile, Garrick Courtney, left to manage the farm he loathes, wishes only for a quiet life. Happiness seems within his grasp with the beautiful Anna Van Essen, one of the broken-hearted women Sean left in his wake, but he is devastated when tragedy strikes once more.

    As both brothers seek to realize their destinies, they find their paths must once again cross in a bitter showdown. Can either brother thrive while the other still lives?

    When the Lion Feeds is the iconic debut novel from Wilbur Smith, one of the bestselling and most beloved authors of the 20th century.

      A Courtney series adventure - Book 2 in the When the Lion Feeds trilogy SOME WILL WIN. SOME WILL LOSE. As war is declared between the British Empire and the Transvaal Republic, a battle-hardened and newly wealthy Sean Courtney realizes that it is not only on the front lines where enemies are made. While Sean’s own brother, Garrick, is bitter and vengeful—determined to destroy Sean and the empire he has built—his sons are repeating the sins of their father, locked in a violent and seemingly never-ending struggle. On the brink of losing everything in the ongoing war, Sean discovers there is something he can’t buy – true love – in the strong-willed, self-assured and beautiful Ruth Friedman. But this love forms a weakness in him, a weakness Garrick is determined to manipulate to deliver the revenge he so desperately seeks. As Sean fights to save himself, his family, and his fortune, The Sound of Thunder becomes a vibrant tale of love and hatred in many forms: between brothers, between friends, between father and son, and between man and woman. The Sound of Thunder is the thrilling second novel from Wilbur Smith, one of the bestselling and most beloved authors of the 20th century.
