In the tumultuous seas of the 18th century, where loyalty is as fragile as the sails of a cursed ship, young Captain Donland finds himself at the helm of the infamous Hornet, a vessel shunned by many. Dubbed fever-laden and ill-fated, it hardly seems the ship to carry vital dispatches through enemy waters. But with the fates of Admiral Hyde Parker and Admiral Rowley hanging in the balance, Donland must navigate not only the merciless stormy seas but also the treachery brewing among his own ranks.
As he embarks on a daring mission from Charles Town to Martinique, danger lurks at every turn.
