A chronicle of the fascinating early years of Horatio Nelson and
Emma Lyon. Both determined to rise from obscurity, they set about
making their ways through the world with corresponding recklessness
and precocious ambition. Nelson enters the Royal Navy at the age of
twelve and is made post captain at the age of twenty. Emma,
luscious but penniless, cannily confronts her limited prospects to
rise through the social ranks from teenaged bawd to noblemen's
courtesan to celebrated artist's model. Rich in historical detail,
this novel offers authentic sea action and a rare peek into
London's demimonde, where the lives of a beautiful courtesan and
Britain's greatest naval hero collide.
