In the autumn of 1787, Captain Nicholas Cruwys and the frigate Miranda join a small British squadron sent to Copenhagen and the Baltic. King Gustav III of Sweden is moving towards war with Russia, threatening the trade routes through the Sound and creating an opportunity for conspirators who want Britain drawn into an alliance it has not chosen.

Cruwys and Captain Henry Harrington of Romulus investigate a network reaching from the Swedish court to the winter archipelago. Political observation becomes intelligence work as each captain confronts divided loyalties, concealed agents and personal attachments that can compromise judgement in waters where a careless statement may have the effect of a broadside.
