About the Book
The Caribbean, 1788
An uneasy peace has followed years of war.
Newt Beresford is First Lieutenant aboard HMS Relentless, a frigate patrolling shipping lanes around the West Indies, protecting British ships in waters every European power is vying to control.
When the Relentless comes across several bodies in the water, Newt and Captain Taylor suspect a shipwreck, but there is no sign of any debris.
Pulling one of the bodies aboard, they discover the man had his hands bound behind his back.
Ordered to hunt down suspected pirates, Newt and the Relentless encounter a French warship with the same mission.
The French are calling the mysterious vessel Le Revenant, because the pirates seem to appear out of nowhere and then vanish after attacking.
Clues appear to be leading Newt and Captain Taylor towards the waters around a remote island, but Newt is alone in suspecting there’s something else actually going on…
Who is really behind the pirate attacks? Can Newt find out before it is too late?
Or will Relentless find herself drawn into waters she may not be able to come back from?
