The nation is at arms… he must decide where his loyalty lies. 1649. England has been torn asunder by a civil war that has pitted Parliamentarians against Royalists. Captain Kit Faulkner, bound to the Royalist cause, has been living in exile for the past four years, and must support himself with only the tiny rump of the Royal Navy that remains loyal. But when the predatory nature of Prince Charles becomes ever more obvious, Kit finds his loyalties to the crown tested like never before... A pulse-pounding naval adventure full of action and suspense, perfect for fans of Patrick O'Brian, Julian Stockwin and C. S. Forrester.Praise for Richard Woodman 'Woodman is a master of both maritime nonfiction and fiction' Booklist 'Gripping … Woodman spins an exciting tale' Publishers Weekly
