Napoleon has won the Battle of Waterloo and England is under French occupation. A half-drowned girl washes up on a Cornish beach, escaping French soldiers after the murder of her black sea captain father. An aristocratic soldier-spy, haunted by his part in the defeat at Waterloo, plans to spring the Duke of Wellington from captivity. Together, they become enmeshed in a web of treachery and espionage stretching from London to the Scilly Isles.

Reviews
"Georgette Heyer meets William Boyd. . . . Intrigue, murder, love and betrayal--I couldn't put it down." --Diney Costeloe, "The quality of the story in itself is sufficient to carry this novel, but excellent writing and characterization pushes it up several notches - with special mention for Hester: a fizzing-with-life, believable and resourceful heroine if ever there was one" -- Daily Mail "Thrilling... Rugged scenery combined with even more rugged leading men and feisty leading ladies makes this a book that one can easily compare to Poldark ... The intensity of the plot is only amplified by quite how much she makes you care about the characters it revolves around'" -- The Bookbag "Witty, exciting and heartfelt, the book had me hooked" -- Roaring Bookworm "An historical novel at its best... With fantastic characters like the strong heroine Hester and the charismatic Crow the author doesn't disappoint... You cannot ask for more in a novel of this genre. 5*'" --Rachel Bustin "Readers will follow the story with bated breath to see what will happen next, as we cross over to various characters and their stories" -- Our First Year Here "A fascinating story with plenty of unexpected events, gripping scenes, treachery, bloody battles and political intrigues... A fantastic compelling story'" -- With Love for Books "With a complex plot, high stakes and rip rolling adventure - as well as Hester, a fantastic main character - I actually couldn't put this down" -- Roaring Bookworm "Those who like their action on the swashbuckling side will enjoy this fabulous debut set in a world in which Napoleon won the Battle of Waterloo. A cross between Georgette Heyer, Dorothy Dunnett and Poldark" -- i newspaper "A swashbuckling, sparkling world of a novel, breathtakingly tender, with a mad, bad and dangerous-to-know hero" --Suzannah Dunn. "The main characters, especially Crow and Hester, are well-drawn" -- Historical Novel Society, "Rugged scenery combined with even more rugged leading men and feisty leading ladies does make this a book that one can easily compare to Poldark-- but Whittaker provides depth and nuance to her characters--meaning that the intensity of the plot is only amplified by quite how much she makes you care about the characters it revolves around. A satisfying conclusion allows some plot threads to linger--and I for one would be extremely keen to see them picked up in a sequel." -- Bookbag, 'Thrilling ... Rugged scenery combined with even more rugged leading men and feisty leading ladies makes this a book that one can easily compare to Poldark ... The intensity of the plot is only amplified by quite how much she makes you care about the characters it revolves around' The Bookbag.
