Captain Sir Thomas Kydd, newly married, is summoned to join the Northern Expedition to Sweden, Britain's sole ally in the Baltic, following Russia's sudden declaration of war and the threat of the czar's great fleet in St. Petersburg. The expedition's mission is to defend Britain's freedom in those waters.

However, Kydd discovers that his reputation as a renowned frigate captain is a poisoned chalice. Jealousy, envy, distrust from the commander-in-chief, and a betrayal of friendship by a former brother-in-arms now serving as his subordinate make his journey challenging. Can he redeem his tarnished reputation?

Tyger, the ship commanded by Kydd, embarks on a perilous journey from the frozen north to the treacherous Danish Sound, playing a crucial role in the events following the czar's attack on Finland. This leads to the first clash of fleets between Great Britain and Russia in history, with the Baltic Sea as the ultimate prize.

Julian Stockwin's Thomas Kydd series vividly portrays life aboard a majestic ship-of-the-line, combining fact and fiction in rich and authoritative detail. Fans of fast-paced adventure will find satisfaction in this book, while historical naval enthusiasts will appreciate the captivating and compelling narrative.
