In 1811 Kydd commands a frigate squadron in the Adriatic, where French control of the coast threatens British trade and influence. Raids, convoy attacks and island operations earn him a reputation that brings the larger squadron of Bernard Dubourdieu against him.

Renzi meanwhile crosses into Austria to test whether its government might again oppose Napoleon. The diplomatic mission and the naval campaign converge as Kydd prepares to meet superior forces near Lissa in a battle that could decide control of the central Adriatic.
