Shadows in the Wind: Corpus Quadripartitum ...is the sweeping omnibus edition of Rob Steyn's acclaimed espionage-political thriller saga, collecting all four books of the series into one definitive volume. From the harrowing evacuation of children during World War II to the shadow wars of modern geopolitics, Shadows in the Wind traces the lives of men and women caught in the violent crosscurrents of history. At its heart lies William Braithwaite, a boy torn from the Blitz and thrust into a brutal world that shapes him into a man of power, ambition, and haunting moral compromise.
Across decades and continents, Steyn's characters navigate betrayal, corruption, and survival: • Secret programs and covert deals in the corridors of London and Washington. • The violent struggle for Africa's natural resources, where conservation collides with corporate greed. • A story of love, loss, and the fragile line between empathy and manipulation.
This omnibus gathers: • Book I: Tenebris Ordior (Darkness Begins) • Book II: Aurora Inter Tenebras (Dawn Among the Darkness) • Book III: Malitia Adolescit (Evil Grows Up) • Book IV: Quisque moriatur ut vitam perseveret (All Die so that Life may Continue)
Richly atmospheric, unflinching in its realism, and deeply human at its core, Shadows in the Wind is a modern epic for readers who love political intrigue, historical depth, and morally complex characters.
Perfect for fans of Robert Harris, John le Carré, and Ken Follett.
