War cry. Wilbur Smith. 2017.

Saffron Courtney grows up on a sprawling Kenyan estate, under the watchful eye of her father, prominent businessman and distinguished war veteran Leon Courtney. Her thirst for knowledge and adventure leads her to England, and into the heart of the gathering storm in the lead up to World War II.

Gerhard von Meerbach is a privileged and idealistic member of the German aristocracy, struggling to stay true to his principles in an increasingly cruel world. His friendship with a Jewish man forces him to take a stand against the forces of evil that have overtaken his country and his family. But, unknown to him, he is caught in a trap that could cost him everything he holds dear.

As the Second World War looms over them all, Saffron and Gerhard’s worlds will collide - but will there be more to unite them than tear them apart?
