In 1663, royalist adventurer Anthony Mandeville is trying to turn wartime experience into a mercantile future. His new enterprise, the Cormorant Venture, should offer distance from the political dangers of the previous decades, but trade quickly becomes entangled with espionage, divided loyalties and accusations of treason.

Restoration England is outwardly more stable than the country Mandeville knew during civil war, yet old allegiances still matter and new commercial ambitions create fresh rivalries. To protect the venture, he must judge which former enemies can be trusted and whether political service can ever be separated from private profit in a kingdom still recovering from revolution.
