Pearce struggles to repair the damaged HMS Larcher in Palermo while protecting Emily from abandonment and scandal. A faster enemy drives him into an Italian bay, where he is forced to burn his ship and face a court martial for its loss.

Admiral Hotham exploits the crisis by sending the Pelicans against the pirate Mehmet Pasha. Pearce must survive captivity, distrust within his crew and a mission designed as much to remove him as to serve the fleet.
