There he encounters Persephone Lockwood, the beautiful and determined admiral's daughter from his past.

Going against his nature, he enters the highest echelons of London society determined to win her back. The Prince of Wales asks Kydd – in his new privileged position – to take temporary command of the Royal Yacht. Sailing to Yarmouth he realises they are being stalked by French privateers. The threat of a prince of the blood being captured sees Kydd call on daring seamanship of the highest order. Will Kydd's actions win him royal gratitude and romantic triumph or will they end in disaster?Praise for Julian Stockwin'Paints a vivid picture of life aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line' Daily Express
