"The year is 1662. Cromwell is dead, and England's king has been restored to the throne. But Charles II presides over an uncertain court ...

This time, aged twenty-two, he is determined to complete his mission without loss of life or honour. Vital to his success is Kit Farrell, a young mariner who has promised to help Matthew master the sea ... With Kit's help, Matthew must tackle the dangers of the voyage: a resentful Cornish crew, a suspicion of murder, and the growing conviction that treason lies closer to home than anyone thought ..."--Publisher description.
