Description
Captain Thomas Kydd's latest mission takes him to Lisbon, where he must aid the Portuguese Royal Family's evacuation amidst Napoleon's advance through Iberia. In the chaos of the threatened city, an old passion is reawakened when he meets Persephone Lockwood, a beautiful and determined admiral's daughter from his past. As Kydd navigates the complexities of the Royal Family's journey to Brazil, he finds himself drawn into the high society of London, where he must confront new responsibilities and challenges. When the Prince of Wales asks him to take temporary command of the Royal Yacht, Kydd is tasked with sailing to Yarmouth, where a French privateer threat looms large. With daring seamanship at stake, Kydd must call on all his skills to protect the prince and ensure their safe passage. Will he be able to win Persephone's hand, or will another suitor claim her affections?
