About the Book
Beware the enemy within…
England, 1779
War rages on the far side of the Atlantic, and for Newt Beresford, joining the frigate HMS Tenacious as Midshipman is his passage to a life of adventure.
He’s hopeful he can escape the shadow of his legendary Naval Captain father — and serving under the maverick Captain Crispin Lavell seems an excellent way to do that.
But Newt hasn’t been aboard long before he picks up on simmering tensions amongst the crew.
Something happened on their last voyage, something nobody talks about.
One of the lieutenants tells him it involves a suspicious group calling themselves the Brotherhood — and he wants Newt to spy on some of the men onboard who he thinks are involved.
As the Tenacious leads a convoy across the storm-swept ocean, Newt finds himself increasingly isolated on a ship full of whispered secrets, coded names, mysterious symbols and threatening messages.
With everyone a suspect, who can Newt trust? Is the real threat the enemy ships stalking Tenacious?
Or could it be coming from within…?
