conversations.value: When the Lion Feeds: When the Lion Feeds is a gripping saga beginning with the introduction of twin brothers in Natal in the 1870s.\nSean and Garrick Courtney are as close as two brothers can be and as different at the same time.\nBonded from birth, their lives intertwine.\nSean is the dominant brother—his father's favourite, and Garrick is mostly content to follow in his shadow.\nIt is this dynamic that orchestrates the hunting accident that leaves Garrick without a leg and Sean responsible.\nWith considerable guilt, Sean is easily manipulated, and Garrick uses this to his advantage regularly.\nSean becomes his protector, his confidante, his get-out-of-work-free card, and his safety net until war changes everything.\nWhen they are separated by assignments in battle, Garrick is left without his brother's helping hand for the first time and inadvertently rises to the occasion.\nWhen set upon and greatly outnumbered by Zulu tribesman, Garrick stumbles, jamming his arm through the door locks just as the Zulus are breaking in.\nThe pain from the resulting compound fractures is so severe that Garrick goes into shock and does not remove his arm as the Zulus continue to try breaking in; thus, he saves many lives, making Garry a hero.\nThis event changes the course of his life.\nWith Waite Courtney's death in battle, fate takes a turn.\nGarrick believes Sean is dead also, and he resents the great wealth he now has, happy to give it all up to have Sean back.\nFeeling as though there is little to live for, he welcomes a visit from Sean's girlfriend, Anna.\nWhen she tells Garry that she carries Sean's child, he rises to the occasion and proposes.\nAnna, seeking relief from constant poverty and a father for her baby, accepts.\nWhile they honeymoon, Sean returns to Theunis Kraal.\nAnna's true feelings come to the surface in a shocking accusation that sets brother against brother and sends Sean on a journey of self-growth and discovery.\nGarrick discovers the courage he can tap from alcohol and covers his feelings of social ineptness by dulling them with drink.\nWhen the great cattle disease strikes he loses half the stock and has to remortgage the family estate.\nSean leaves and has fabulous success in the gold rush on the Witwatersrand with Duff Charleywood and the beautiful Candy, in the new town of Johannesburg, where huge fortunes are made and lost in a morning's dealing on the Exchange.\nThe atmosphere of this feverish, violent time is brilliantly drawn: the heavy drinking, the elaborate houses, the ruthless abandonment of the failure.\nSean and Duff are caught at last in a trap laid by their rival, the sinister and clever Hradsky, and leave Johannesburg for the wilderness to seek their fortunes once more.\nSean goes on to rediscover the simplest pleasures, hunting ivory in the Bushveld.\nHe loses his best friend there but finds the love of his life, and what she gives him he treasures and values more than all the wealth he has ever had.\nThe adventure finally sends him back out into the bush with his son alone, mourning the loss of his wife and thinking about Ladyburg.
