The call of the republic, the weight of destiny. A new legend takes
to the seas.'A thrilling new adventure series that rivals the
immortal Patrick O'Brian' Angus Donald1793. The infant French
republic is assailed on all sides, by enemies within and the
combined might of the great European monarchies without. A
fanatical regime has taken power in Paris. In the midst of these
upheavals, Philippe Kermorvant, son of an English aristocrat and a
French nobleman, arrives in Brittany, his father's homeland, for
the first time in his life. He gained experience of brutal warfare
as a young officer in the fledgling United States, and Russian,
Navies. Now he has three reasons for making his new home in France:
his fervent belief in the ideals proclaimed by the new French
Republic, his desire to revive the ancient estate of his family,
and his wish to fight against those whom he has always regarded as
his enemy... The English. But with the core of the French fleet on
the verge of mutiny and the horrors of 'Madame Guillotine' at their
peak, Philippe will have more than warfare, politics and family
entanglements to contend with. From a toxic homecoming welcome to
an arbitrary spell in gaol, Philippe's loyalty to the republic will
be tested to breaking point. Everything will come to a head in a
life-or-death battle on the high seas, which will leave him with an
impossible choice. One that will change his life forever... The
thrilling introduction to the newest star of Napoleonic naval
fiction, Philippe Kermorvant, from award-winning naval author and
historian J. D. Davies, perfect for fans of C. S. Forester, Patrick
O'Brian and Julian Stockwin.
