1814
: Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho
returns to
England
from several months' rigorous patrolling off
the North American coast
. War with
the United States
has not yet ended, but news of
Napoleon's
defeat and abdication has stunned a navy and a nation bled by years of European conflict.
Victory has been the impossible dream and now, for Bolitho, a vision of the future and a personal peace seems attainable.
However an unsympathetic
Admiralty
dispatches him to
Malta
. Is this appointment a compliment or a malicious ploy to keep Bolitho from the woman he loves and the freedom he craves? He cannot know, but the voice of duty speaks more insistently even than the voice of the heart, and in this familiar sea where both glory and tragedy have touched his life,
Bolitho must confront the future, the renaissance of a hated tyrant, and the fulfilment of destiny.
