Synopsis
'In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world' - Guardian
1803. Tensions are escalating again between England and France.
While the Royal Navy launches reconnaissance, rescue missions and spies on the continent, French privateer ships are lurking in English waters poised to strike at British trade. Smugglers, perilous storms and a treacherous coastline all threaten to overcome HMS Teazer as her men fight to gain control of the seas around Cornwall and Devon.
Meanwhile an unlikely rival is seeking her captain's heart. The beautiful and determined admiral's daughter could be the key to realising all Kydd's hopes and ambitions. But high society, he finds, can be as treacherous as his first mistress - the sea.

From the Author
This is the first book in the Kydd series set in Home Waters. Ironically, I've found this as wild and exotic a location as any, with spectacle ranging from the iron-bound coast to the incredible complex of the Plymouth naval base and dockyard. Certainly in those pre-factory times it was the wonder of the age, employing so many thousands of men.
No-one in England lives far from the sea and a strong and abiding relationship with Neptune's realm is a national characteristic, but it is perhaps in the West Country, where I set this book , that the maritime heritage is strongest. Since time immemorial, the sea has provided food and transport links between isolated communities, and with hundreds of miles of rocky coastline and winter storms equal to any, it has also been the graveyard of so many ships.
This book was great fun to write, but it also presented some new challenges to me as a writer. I hope you enjoy it!
