A determined people forge a new destiny in South Africa. They call themselves Afrikaners.
The oldest son of a South African plantation owner, Jan van der Kemp is proud, aggressive, self-confident – and deeply hurt by his family past. A Huguenot orphan, Margot de Campion is beautiful, compassionate – and molded by a tragic background of her own.
Jan’s and Margot’s paths cross and their temperaments clash. But conflict turns to love and a common bond as together they live through grief, despair, and ultimate threat to their very lives.
In this first book of the African Covenant series, Jack Cavanaugh spins an intriguing story of two people who fall tenderly in love amid the injustice and heartbreak of South Africa in the early 1700s.
