A captured enemy frigate. A stolen mission. A war built on secrets.
Captain Favian Markham of the United States Navy has become a hero of the War of 1812 after the capture of HMS Macedonian. But victory comes at a price.
As political rivals circle and whispers spread through Washington, Markham finds himself facing court martial, accused not simply of failure, but of knowing too much. Hidden agents pass intelligence across enemy lines, British warships appear where they should not, and shadowy interests on both sides of the Atlantic are shaping the war for their own ends.
At the centre of it all stands Caroline - a woman whose loyalties are as dangerous as they are irresistible.
When Markham is drawn into a covert mission involving a frigate stolen from his own government, he discovers that the greatest threat to the young American republic may not come from the Royal Navy at all, but from betrayal within.
From blockade-running operations and furious frigate battles to espionage, political intrigue, and divided loyalties, The Macedonian is a fast-moving Age of Sail adventure packed with action, suspense, and naval warfare on the high seas.
