'PERSEPHONE is another shining milepost for Captain Thomas Kydd and
his creator, Julian Stockwin' - Quarterdeck November 1807. Captain
Sir Thomas Kydd must sail to Lisbon to aid the Portuguese Royal
Family's evacuation in the face of Napoleon's ruthless advance
through Iberia. In the chaos of the threatened city an old passion
is reawakened when he meets Persephone Lockwood, a beautiful and
determined admiral's daughter from his past. But the Royal Family's
destination is Brazil, Perspehone's England, and it seems Kydd's
chance has gone again. Only later he discovers Persephone has
another suitor - and that, if he wants to win her hand, he must
enter the highest echelons of London society. Mixing with
aristocracy and royalty brings other responsibilities. The Prince
of Wales asks him to take temporary command of the Royal Yacht.
Sailing to Yarmouth, Kydd realises they are being stalked by French
privateers. The terrible threat of a prince of the blood being
captured sees Kydd call on daring seamanship of the highest order.
