For Captain Garrett McGuire, neutrality is not an option. He was commissioned to find a treasure that will fund continuation of the Napoleonic war, but everyone wants their cut. No one is trustworthy, and he is captured, imprisoned, and tortured, his ship claimed as bounty by the Americans who want him to relinquish the treasure. Garrett's wife, Bessy, capable and fearless, learns from escaped crew members where her husband is held. She entrusts the children to their aunt and embarks on a journey to do the impossible-brave intervening battlefields, go the distance, risk all to rescue her man. When she becomes an objective in the hunt for the riches that could change the war, can she outsmart and outmaneuver the danger threatening herself and her family?
