Resumen del libro

Britain and the Mediterranean, 1827

Captain Sir Laughton Peto, recently engaged to Matthew Herveys sister, is sailing his mighty line-of-battle ship towards Navarino Bay, and war with the Turks.

Six months on, and Matthew Hervey of the 6th Light Dragoons is in London recovering from the wound from his battle with the Zulu. All is set fair for his marriage to the eminently suitable Lady Lankester, and his return to active duty at the Cape.

As the cataclysmic battle of Navarino Bay looms ever closer for Peto and his crew, Hervey faces a crisis that could change both his life and his military career
