Their pursuit of justice, empathy, and conservation collides with forces far more ruthless than they imagined: corporate interests entwined with fragile sanctuaries, boardrooms locked in battles over Africa's resources, and William Braithwaite's expanding empire of influence. Hardened by the scars of childhood, Braithwaite's hunger for control metastasises into something vast and unrelenting. Loyalties fracture, love falters under pressure, and hope strains against the inexorable rise of violence and greed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eQuisque moriatur ut vitam perseveret\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, the shadows reach their darkest hour. Jamie stands at the heart of a storm where state power, corporate greed, and paramilitary violence converge upon the Congo sanctuary-a fragile beacon of conservation and compassion. William Braithwaite's shadow stretches to its fullest extent, but even his empire is threatened by forces older and more ruthless than himself. Innocence gives way to sacrifice; ideals are tested in the crucible of betrayal and bloodshed. Some lives must be lost so that others may endure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnflinching, deeply human, and haunting in its resonance, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCorpus Quadripartitum: Volume II\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e confronts the reader with the true costs of ambition and survival-while holding fast to the fragile, enduring possibility of empathy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob Steyn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1991426100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781991426109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Produo Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.03d","brand":"Rob Steyn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50921128100095,"sku":"9781991426109","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dba6015e-df25-448e-bf40-f1fd33516f76.jpg?v=1793817849","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shadows-in-the-wind-rob-steyn-9781991426109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
