Sparrow Falls

In Sparrow Falls by Wilbur Smith, the Courtney family saga turns sharp and intimate, blending historical fiction with high-stakes family drama in post–Great War South Africa.

General Sean Courtney comes home from the trenches determined to secure the future he’s built, but his household is anything but steady.

His daughter Storm is dazzling and reckless, his son Dirk is bitter and compromised, and young veteran Mark Anders arrives as Sean’s assistant carrying his own scars.

As Mark is pulled into the family’s power struggles, loyalty and desire collide, and old resentments harden into something dangerous.

Perfect for readers who love sweeping sagas, morally tangled characters, and early 20th-century settings where war’s aftermath follows people home.

Add this third instalment of the When the Lion Feeds trilogy to your shelf and step back into the Courtney world.
