Late summer, 1666. Captain Matthew Quinton is summoned by the King to London, a city seething with seditious plots, enemy nationals and dangerous paranoia. It’s the Year of the Beast, after all, and with England at war with both the Dutch and the mighty French, tensions are running sky high.
The King’s spies have learned of a secret quartet of terrorists who plan to destroy the capital, stir rebellion and open the way for invasion. When fire breaks out in the tinder-dry, narrow lanes of the ancient City, spreading rapidly west, the worst seems to have happened.
But an even greater threat still lurks amidst the smouldering ruins.
And only Quinton can avert it.

"A pantheon of the best adventures at sea!"
—Conn Iggulden

 
 
  • "J. D. Davies's recreation of Restoration England — a lesser known period in naval fiction — and the Royal Navy is masterful. Thunderous cannon fire reverberates off the pages, while smoke swirls around vividly drawn characters . . . another splendid naval adventure in this winning series."
    —Quarterdeck Magazine
  • "Swashbuckling suspense, royal intrigue and high seas naval action . . . an excellent series"
    —Publishers Weekly
  • "J. D. Davies’s depiction of Restoration England and the British navy is impeccable, his characters truly live and breathe, and the plot kept me in suspense . . . I could not recommend it more"
    —Edward Chupack
  • "Mr O’Brian would have heartily approved of the finely shaded
    characters, excellent plotting, gut-clenching action and immaculate attention to period naval detail that Davies supplies. Superb!"
    —Angus Donald
