This book follows the journey of two Huguenot families escaping persecution in France to the Cape Colony in Africa. It is set in the period from the mid-1600s to the late 1900s.

Following the loss by the Dutch of its war against England, the Cape Colony became a British Colony. Dutch and Huguenot settlers migrate north to escape British rule in what was called the Great Trek. Ultimately, the descendants of the two families migrate to Rhodesia.

After a disagreement with the tyrant King of the Zulus, Shaka, his general Mzilikazi, escapes with 500 of his men. He founds the Matabele kingdom in present day Zimbabwe.

The northward migration of both parties caused ongoing tensions between the settlers and the Matabele, resulting in wars.

The novel moves the reader through the early history of Rhodesia, which led to a declaration of independence from Britain.

The last few chapters give readers an experience of the Rhodesian Bush War.

The saga continues in 'We Brothers' and 'Justice Will be Done'.
