About This Book

The story opens with a dangerous bequest that launches an expedition into a tropical coastal region, where traders, a reserved newcomer, and a taciturn ally confront climate and local hazards. Poaching, treachery, and disease complicate a venture aimed at securing wealth and improving an estate, while negotiations and bargains test loyalties. River and sea journeys bring boarding actions, escapes, and narrow rescues that reshape relationships. A romantic thread develops amid shifting alliances, and the plot resolves through retribution, relief, and the distribution of reward.
