Young Londoners face naval alarm and espionage as the Dutch fleet challenges English power. River traffic, dockyards and coastal defences become part of an adventure shaped by the vulnerability of the capital.
The story introduces the commercial and naval causes of the Anglo-Dutch conflict. Trease places ordinary workers and families beside the court of Charles II, showing how war at sea affected food, employment and public confidence.
