Book Description:
Captain
Petroc Gray, commander of the ship-rigged sloop of war, HMS Kestrel, is drawn into diplomacy,
intrigue, and espionage when he rescues the Freiherr von Dieffenbach and his
family off the island of RĂ¼gen in the Baltic. The Freiherr is an important and
valuable connection in the struggle to beat the Napoleonic Continental blockade
of British trade, and his daughter, Silke, is a delightful young woman with a
quick wit, brilliant intelligence, and a keen eye for observing the events
unfolding around them. The ever-changing political alliances of the Northern
European and Scandinavian states—war, sea battles, storms, death, and Napoleon’s
“hundred days” leading to the defeat at Waterloo—all conspire to frustrate
Petroc’s intention to seek Silke’s hand in marriage, right to the last. But
Petroc isn’t one to be easily defeated, whether he is navigating the open seas
or matters of the heart, and Silke stands bright and strong in his life like a
beacon in a safe harbour.
