Description
Nathaniel Devarre – pirate, lover, artist – is determined to put his buccaneering past behind him and settle down to a solitary and peaceful existence as a portrait painter. Fate, however, has other plans.
His quiet life in Highgate is thrown into turmoil when Elizabeth Rawlins, the wife of a neighbour, reveals that her first love was Sir Roger Trevanyon – the man who put a bullet in Nathaniel’s eye when they duelled over the beautiful Lady Corinne Malvor. And Elizabeth is determined that Nathaniel will help reunite her with Roger.
But it’s not only his personal life that is causing Nathaniel trouble: his old friend and commanding officer Henry Morgan is in England, gathering support from King and country while the Spanish howl for his blood after his sacking of their prize colonial city Panama.
Long-held grievances, secret love and political scheming combine to deadly effect in this dramatic tale of seventeenth-century passions.
