It’s 1820 and the American Revolution is shaking the old European order. Chad Grittenberg, a veteran of the War of 1812 lives a life of duty and chivalry, fearing dishonor more than death. When a duel goes horribly wrong and the woman he loves is killed, his world collapses.
To calm his troubled mind, he captains a ship on a trading voyage from Boston to Russian America. At sea, his personal crisis undermines his leadership, and his command frays as the crew and ship face betrayal, pirate attacks and storms.
In San Francisco, Chad encounters a former enemy, the captain of a British brig carrying a beautiful Russian noblewoman, Katarina Gerhardt. Chad is smitten with Katarina, but his guilt over the loss of his fiancé only months before tears at his conscience.
Weeks later, bound for Russian America, Chad discovers his enemy’s brig, wrecked on a remote forested island. Katarina and others are missing. Duty demands that he put his command at risk to rescue them. But what will save Chad from himself? Action & Adventure Historical Fiction Heartfelt
