Synopsis

From the battlefields of World War II to the dawn of modern Zimbabwe, Cry of the Fish Eagle follows families bound to the land… and to the tides of history they cannot escape.

In wartime Cornwall, Rupert Pengelly returns to a failing farm, and a promise whispered over the deathbed of a friend. A promise that pulls him across oceans, toward Africa, toward a life he never imagined.

Rhodesia awaits with sun-baked fields, emerald hunts, and a restless horizon. Amid the heat and tension, a wild, fearless girl named Sasa emerges—unpredictable, untamed—ready to challenge Rupert’s loyalties and reshape the course of his future.

The old order trembles, resistance rises, and the Pengellys, Savages, and Birkendales are drawn ever closer… and pulled apart. Secrets deepen like shadows, alliances shift like sand, and the storm gathering over the land soon finds them at its centre.

And when the cry of the fish eagle rings across the skies, one question remains: who will endure, and what must be sacrificed to survive the tides of history?

Across continents, across generations, the tides of empire shape all they touch.
