Restored to naval service, Jack Aubrey takes HMS Diane on a diplomatic mission to the fictional Malay state of Pulo Prabang. Britain hopes to secure an alliance before French agents can gain control of the court.

Stephen Maturin enters a struggle of bribery, natural history and intelligence against his old enemy Ledward. After the mission, an uncharted reef destroys Diane and strands the expedition at the edge of the East Indies.
