Winter 1795: Lieutenant John Pearce, reckoning to have finally
ditched his old enemy, Admiral Hotham, has found a new one in Henry
Digby, previously a friend. Meanwhile, Pearce's pregnant and
recently widowed lover is adamant they cannot be seen together for
the sake of their unborn child as she seeks respectability in
society. Aboard HMS Flirt as part of the squadron led by Horatio
Nelson, Pearce and his Pelicans soon join a reconnaissance mission
which results in the destruction of a key French battery—though
the success is short-lived. In raids ashore, split loyalties, and
bloody sea fights, Pearce must show bravery and resourcefulness to
ensure his survival and return to Emily. But the headstrong
lieutenant is faced with immense danger, not only from the enemy
but also from his own captain. Only luck and Pearce's fierce
appetite for battle can save them from the perils ahead.
