Description
The English Channel echoes with cannon fire as the French Revolutionary War begins. HMS Themis, an ageing frigate, is tasked with surveying the French coastline, but soon finds itself in the midst of intense action. As Lieutenant Charles Hayden steps onto the smoky deck, he must navigate a complex web of loyalties and rivalries. With his English father and French mother, Hayden's identity is torn between two cultures. The Admiralty has chosen him for his first command, but at a cost: he will act as a mediator between the ship's tyrannical Captain Hart and a mutinous crew. Hayden must master his wits to challenge the might of the French naval war machine, all while staying true to his own sense of English common sense and French pride.
