Parted from his new bride, Captain Sir Thomas Kydd is called away to join the Northern Expedition to Sweden, now Britains only ally in the Baltic.
Following the sudden declaration of war by Russia & with the consequent threat of the czars great fleet in St Petersburg, the expedition must defend Britains dearly-won freedom in those waters.
However Kydd finds his popular fame as a frigate captain is a poisoned chalice; in the face of jealousy & envy from his fellow captains, the distrust of the commander-in-chief & the betrayal of friendship by a former brother-in-arms now made his subordinate, can he redeem his reputation?
