A RUTHLESS MAN. AN UNFORGIVING DESTINY.
Zouga Ballantyne has in his blood a fanatical need to find diamonds, and it is in the diamond mines of Kimberley that he finally realises his fate. But the price of success in one of the most punishing places in the world is high, and Zouga loses his beloved wife to one of the many sicknesses that haunt the diamond mine camp. Zouga and his sons are left to find their fortune elsewhere, and end up a part of the flourishing British Empire, developing their own form of civilisation in the face of tribal opposition.
But Zouga's success has come at a price. The local Matabele tribe, who have tried to live alongside the colonists, are slowly losing everything. In the face of exploitation, violence and greed, who will triumph in the land of ruthless men?
The second book in the epic Ballantyne Series.
Book 3 in the Ballantyne series, The Angels Weep, is available now.
