Pearce tries to bring the Pelicans home but must first evade an Algerine warship, renewed impressment and the possibility of hanging for desertion. Forged wills, commercial fraud and murder draw him into a network of deception before he can resolve his legal position.

A clandestine assignment then makes trust even more difficult. Pearce can protect his companions through bluff and improvisation, but his relationship with Emily remains exposed to laws and conventions he cannot defeat by force.
