A BATTLE WON. A LEGACY DESTROYED.
General Sean Courtney returns from the horrors of the Great War in France, his mind on his heirs and his legacy. Three potential successors are determined to take on all Sean has built: his beautiful but spoiled daughter, Storm, his corrupt, disgraced son, Dirk, and his new assistant Mark Anders, a fellow survivor of the trenches, carved in his own image and as dear to him as a son.
As Mark finds himself trapped between Sean's two children, impossibly besotted with Storm and tormented by Dirk's jealous loathing, the Courtney legacy lies on rocky foundations. With Sean determined to name a successor, can Mark prove himself worthy before the younger generation of Courtneys destroy him - and the Courtney legacy - in the process?
A Sparrow Falls is the epic conclusion to the first sequence in the Courtney family saga from Wilbur Smith, one of the best and most beloved authors of the century. The Courtney series continues with The Burning Shore sequence.
Quotes by Wilbur Smith
From WikiquoteSomething always dies when the lion feeds — and yet there is meat for those that follow him.
"When a traveller gets a thorn in his foot," Mbejane went on softly, "and he is wise, he plucks it out — and he is a fool, he leaves it and says, 'I will keep this thorn to prick me so that I will always remember the road upon which I have travelled.' Nkosi, it is better to remember with pleasure than with pain."
Beware of your most implacable enemy — yourself.
