Book
Liberty’s Edge
First published 2025
In 1785, Captain Nicholas Cruwys takes Miranda west into the unsettled commerce linking Britain, the newly independent United States and the Caribbean. The war may be over, but former privateers, imperial officials and merchants continue their struggles by other means, while enslaved men expose the limits of the liberty celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic.
Cruwys must manage these political and moral tensions while protecting his naval future in a period of retrenchment. In London, his growing relationship with Caroline Carlisle brings private commitment into conflict with public duty, binding decisions made in drawing rooms to the consequences of his command at sea.
