A Courtney series adventure - Book 2 in the When the Lion Feeds trilogy "In the same way Sean saw it coming, he recognised it as the murderous rage which before had nearly killed a man, but still he could not prepare himself. And then it was upon him and the roaring filled his head." Some will win. And some will lose. Sean Courtney returns from the African wilds to find war has been declared between the British Empire and the Transvaal Republic. Not only that, but a rivalry is growing, between the cruel, obsessive son who bears his name, and his elder, secret son, whom he cherishes deeply. The Boer War will take from Sean, in both blood and gold, but the conflict and its consequences will also offer him everything a man could want. Sean must now decide: with both sons in his life, is he willing to pay the price he needs to keep them?

Book #2 in the Courtney Family novels. This one had a lot of war…I tend to find the descriptions of war maneuvers boring and it felt like half the book was about it. Sean and Garrick‘s lives are still very different, but now they are in the same place and their lives intersect a bit. Michael has grown into a great man, Dirk is spoiled & rotten, and so far Storm seems to live up to her name…but she‘s quite young still.

Enjoyed this as much as the first Courtney novel. Captured my interest well written and heartfelt.
