This historical novel is set during the Zulu War. The story follows George Hart, the bastard son of a British military officer and a half-Irish, half-Zulu actress. Bullied at school for his dark skin and lack of a father, George learns to fight and win. At 18, he discovers that his mysterious father has promised him a vast inheritance if he can achieve a suitable rank in the British Army.
Set against the backdrop of the late Victorian Era, George faces racism and prejudice as he struggles to prove himself. After being forced to leave the army, he travels to South Africa, where he gets caught up in the brewing conflict between the British and the Zulus. George must navigate his complex identity and make difficult choices as he fights for his life.
