Description: "They were half brothers, raised in different worlds in the same country, and destined to be lifelong enemies. Manfred De La Rey and Shasa Courtney, sons of Centaine de Thiry, were blood enemies from their very first boyhood encounter. Caught up in the tumult of South Africa's history during the two decades before World War II, they found themselves adversaries in an age-old war of savagery to seize the sword of power in their land"--Publisher's description.
