Early in the French Revolutionary War, a young British naval officer, Lieutenant Joseph Duncan, finds himself unexpectedly in charge of a powerful frigate. Sailing alone in the Caribbean Sea with no one to ask for advice, he makes a fateful decision to engage a superior enemy force. Although Duncan is ultimately victorious in the fierce battle, the cargo found on the French ships attracts the attention of the Foreign Service.
Soon Duncan is thrust into the world of espionage, spies, and politics. Confirmation of his temporary promotion hinges on competing factions within the highest levels of government. He forms an unlikely friendship with a rash young Marine officer with a murky background. Together they seek answers that could expose treason and along the way, learn the French are not their only enemies.

In a universe where magic surrounds everything, worlds are linked through the ethereal realm, but the secrets to access that shadowy plane are understood by only a few powerful groups. Hidden forces manipulate unknowing pawns to keep them in the dark, knowing connections and understanding could be their downfall.
Four people are born in different times and on different worlds. Klarson Slade, a dragon rider investigating mysterious disappearances, discovers a young woman with impossible powers on a world where magic has been stolen. Roweena, a princess denied her birthright, drinks a deadly elixir and is reborn with abilities beyond imagination-and a burning desire to reclaim what was taken from her. Delavon, a knight who falls through reality itself after a catastrophic battle, finds himself lost between worlds with no way home. And Seera, searching desperately for her kidnapped brother, uncovers a conspiracy that spans the cosmos.
Although they have seemingly nothing in common, their fates are connected, and their actions may shift the balance of power and decide the future of the human race.

When Captain Joseph Duncan is recalled to England to be knighted for his previous actions against the French, he expects to welcome the New Year of 1796, marry his fiancée, Lily, and sail back to the Caribbean, all within a few weeks. The discovery of damage to his ship and the King falling ill are just the beginning of his problems.
The Foreign Office has unexpected plans for Duncan and his friend, Major Jeremy Tisbit, and their mission will take them far from the idyllic islands of the West Indies and the bustling, cold streets of London. Sent on a clandestine diplomatic mission to the Ottoman Empire, they must navigate treacherous political waters and the guns of the French Navy.
As they shepherd an envoy through the sun-scorched, politically fraught Mediterranean, they face devastating storms, mutinous undercurrents, and enemies that will test their courage and friendship. The wind seldom blows in a favorable direction for them as the fate of Britain's influence in the Levant hangs in the balance.
