In this sixth in a series of Napoleonic-era adventures, American Ethan Gage is smuggled onto the French coast determined to thwart Bonaparte, who he vowed to kill at the conclusion of The Emerald Storm. He has joined a royalist conspiracy financed by British gold and has as partner beautiful comtesse Catherine Marceau. But many surprises await him on shore, not the least of which is reunion with his wife Astiza, who readers last saw carried off in a hurricane. Things get tangled from there!

In the fifth Ethan Gage book, our hero finds himself with a new wife, new child, and new troubles in the sugar colonies of the Caribbean. Ethan's intention is to retire with an emerald stolen from the pasha of Tripoli, but his attempt to hock it in Paris leads to robbery and the kidnapping of young Harry. He's pressed into attempting rescue of Touissant L'Ouverture, the "Black Spartacus" of Haiti who has been locked in a French alpine prison.
