Tyranny's Bloody Standard

About “Tyranny's Bloody Standard”

Legendary warriors, devastating sea battles, and a chance, finally, for vengeance. After a daring escape from a British prison, Philippe Kermorvant returns to France and gains command of a frigate in the Mediterranean, where France is trying to rebuild its decimated fleet. Facing overwhelming odds, the fleet is forced to flee for refuge to a fortified bay. The prospect of an interminable blockade looms, but Philippe is given leave from his command to meet an enigmatic young general, who has a mission for him. What follows is a shocking murder, a siege, a whirlwind romance and a duel to the death on the high seas, as Philippe contends with threats from every side. And amidst all this chaos, a terrible face from his past threatens to uproot everything that he has built for himself. A fascinating naval adventure of the Age of Sail told from the French perspective, perfect for fans of Hornblower and Sharpe. (Description courtesy of Penguin Random House.)
