1649. England has been torn asunder by a civil war that has pitted Parliamentarians against Royalists.
Captain Kit Faulkner, bound to the Royalist cause, has been living in exile for the past four years, and must support himself with only the tiny rump of the Royal Navy that remains loyal.
But when the predatory nature of Prince Charles becomes ever more obvious, Kit finds his loyalties to the crown tested like never before...
A pulse-pounding naval adventure full of action and suspense, perfect for fans of Patrick O’Brian, Julian Stockwin and C. S. Forrester.

Richard Woodman is a prolific author of historical fiction, and was born in London in 1944. He became an indentured midshipman in cargo liners at the age of sixteen and has sailed in a variety of ships, serving from apprentice to captain. In 1978 he won the Marine Society's Harmer Award. This experience gives his naval fiction a rich authenticity, and spurred him to write over forty historical novels, as well as a series on the history of the British Merchant Navy, alongside many other non-fiction historical books.
