When a weathered chest is opened centuries later, it reveals the long-lost diaries of Richard Buchanan - an English naval officer whose extraordinary account chronicles a year at sea during one of history’s most dangerous eras.

From the blue waters of the Caribbean to the cold, grey reaches of the Baltic, Buchanan leads a hardened crew through a relentless campaign against enemy shipping, and anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path. As fortunes are seized and lives are risked, the voyage becomes one of intrigue, violence, and uneasy alliances.

Amid the chaos of battle and the lure of plunder, Buchanan must navigate not only the perils of the sea, but the shifting loyalties of his crew, and his own conscience.

Murder, romance, and survival intertwine in this vivid and immersive historical adventure, where the question is not just whether they will succeed…

…but whether any of them will ever make it home to England.
