It is 1795, and in a world torn apart by revolution and war, Alexander Clay, the young first lieutenant of HMS Agrius, dreams of promotion. Self-made, clever and talented, he will need all his wits to bring his ship and crew through a series of adventures stretching from the bleak coast of Flanders to the warm waters of the Caribbean. Ill-conceived expeditions ashore, hunts for privateers in treacherous fog and a desperate chase across the Atlantic are only some of the challenges he faces. How can he win the hand of the beautiful Lydia Browning and what dark secrets have the crew of the Agrius brought with them into the wooden world of their ship?
