Carrying news of a British victory, Aubrey and Maturin sail from North America while American privateers and French agents pursue them. Stephen’s intelligence successes have made him a marked man, and Diana Villiers remains caught inside the same clandestine struggle.

A chase across the Atlantic leads to shipwreck, capture and imprisonment in Paris’s Temple. Escape requires naval courage, intelligence contacts and a decision about Stephen and Diana’s long-delayed future.
