As Jane Austen stands before the ruins of Netley Abbey, she imagines that ghosts really do haunt the centuries-old monastery. But the cloaked figure who startles her is all too human and bears an unexpected missive from Lord Harold Trowbridge, one of the British government's most trusted advisers - and a man who holds an important place in Jane's life. On His Majesty's brig Windlass, Trowbridge tells Jane about a suspected traitor in their midst.
No sooner is she dispatched to Netley Lodge than Trowbridge's grim prediction bears fruit : a British frigate is set afire and its shipwright is found murdered. But before Jane can follow the trail of conspiracy to its source and unmask a calculating killer, the cold hand of murder falls mercilessly yet again - and Jane may find herself dying for her country.
