I can’t wait for the next book in this series. The narrator perform the book in such a captive way which enhances the story, it’s a wonderful book that has everything.

Mesmerising Classic
Wilbur Smith is my favourite author but some of his ghost writers do not capture the original characteristics of his books - sweeping historical stories with attention to detail , great heroes and despicable villains in spellbinding tales - this was an amazing story and is highly recommended
