1791. One officer must claw his way back, from disgrace to redemption.

Falsely incriminated by a bitter rival, Lt. Harry Wylde is dismissed from the Navy and disowned by his father.

With nowhere left to turn, he is forced to descend into the hellish Georgian underworld, learning lessons of life, loyalty and leadership in a bitter fight for survival.

Gruelling encounters in cutthroat alleys and the prize-fighting ring will lead him back to his rival, now a despised renegade, on distant shores.

Through it all, can Wylde seize the means to restore his honour?

Julian Stockwin brings his unique writing style to this new series that contrasts with the bestselling Kydd novels, where vivid characterisations and dramatic fighting scenes are all set against a backdrop of a world in revolution.
