About this title

Synopsis

In 1805 Boston, loyalty can cost you everything. What will Caleb risk for family, love, and loyalty?

Caleb Thompson lives for risk, chasing late nights, high-stakes gambling, and the thrill of never looking back. But when his father is suddenly pressed into service by the Royal Navy, that life vanishes overnight.

Left to salvage his family’s failing shipping business, Caleb is thrown into a ruthless world where fortunes shift with the tide and rivals wait for a single mistake to drag him under. Every deal is a gamble. Every alliance comes with a price.

As whispers of his father’s past begin to surface, Caleb is pulled deeper into a web of secrets stretching far below the depths of the harbor. What begins as a fight to protect his family becomes something far more dangerous—a conspiracy that threatens not just their name, but his life.

And the closer he gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes:

Some debts can’t be paid.

And some loyalties demand everything.

Perfect for fans of The Alienist, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Depths of Loyalty is a gripping historical mystery of ambition, betrayal, and the price of loyalty to one’s family.

Asher Clark writes gritty historical mystery rooted in the hidden tensions of early America. Drawing inspiration from New England’s layered past, his work explores ambition, loyalty, and the difficult choices that define who we become.
