Description
A troubled peace with France has left England's royal fleet in disarray, and even a renowned frigate captain like Richard Bolitho is forced to visit the Admiralty daily to plead for a ship. As war clouds gather over the Channel once more, Bolitho accepts an appointment to the Nore, tasked with searching the coast for seamen who have fled the harsh discipline of His Majesty's Navy for the rewards of smuggling.
Bolitho and his small flotilla of three topsail cutters soon find themselves up against a ruthless and sinister force known as the 'Brotherhood', involved in a secret trade that involves human misery. When a King's ransom is at stake, Bolitho must navigate this treacherous landscape with loyalty and courage if he is to recover it.
With his gallant cutters by his side, Bolitho embarks on a perilous mission that will test the limits of his leadership and bravery. Will he succeed in fulfilling his orders and recovering the ransom, or will the dangers of the sea prove too great to overcome?
