The revolution is in full swing in France, and the fringes are spreading. Britain is preparing for war. Twelve-year-old Will Hamilton has always wanted to go to sea. Now, at last, he steps foot on a man-o-war, realizing his dream. But he soon finds that the Navy isn't all fun and games. On his first day, he makes a rival, one of the other midshipmen, who turns into his enemy. Worse yet, the Captain of the Allegiance is a strict disciplinarian, and seems to have taken a set against Will. Will tries to establish his place in the crew, to win the favor of his captain, and to turn his enemy into his friend, but a stronger enemy arises when France declares war. When Allegiance is attacked by a much larger ship, and Captain Calvert is wounded. But no one can seem to work together, and as the ship is battered by the Frenchman's cannons, her fate, and the fate of everyone aboard her, lies in Will's hands...
