Betrayed on the eve of his wedding and buried alive in a fortress, a guileless sailor learns of a hidden treasure, escapes, and returns remade as a mysterious aristocrat. From salons to courtrooms he engineers exquisite reckonings for those who ruined him—yet the innocent he rescues teach him that justice without mercy can turn a man’s triumph into another prison.
