Publisher's Synopsis
1806. Deep in the South Pacific.
Abel Kinkade and the crew of the H.M.S. Viritus are stranded on uncharted shores. His older cousin, the fearless marine Lieutenant Vincent Luther, must hold order amongst the men before they fall to chaos and bloodshed. The lives of the innocent are at stake and Abel chooses to escape with two mysterious strangers.
They are not alone. Great Chief Lokai is always watching. Ruling over the northern isles, Lokai has ambitions to reunite an ocean empire and these foreigners may prove of use in the fierce conflicts ahead. His noble wife, Ono Hiva, is no longer in favour but will perform her duties as emissary to old enemies.
Caught between two worlds, Abel must now choose his path wisely. Friendships and loyalties will be tested and the cries of war grow ever louder.
