Résumé

In late 1504, a young Ferdinand Magellan encounters Vasco Da Gama and AmerigoVespucci in Lisbon. Inspired by their devotion to exploration, he enlists in the 7thArmada tothe Indies. But to be accepted into the fleet, Magellan must overcome the personal hostility ofKing Manuel and prove himself to be a capable navigator, worthy of service to the crown. The Portuguese' new shipping route around the horn of Africa, has disrupted the lucrativespice trade monopoly enjoyed by Islamic powers.
The Sultan of Egypt has sent a letter to thePope demanding an immediate halt to all Portuguese trade in the Indies. If not, all Christiansin his domain will be put to death, all churches leveled, and even the Holy Sepulchre inJerusalem destroyed. After 500 years of Islamic domination in their own lands, the Portuguesehave refused to submit, igniting a new holy war. In response, King Manuel has ordered the 7tharmada to establish a fortified base alongthe coast of Tanzania and proceed east to appoint Viceroy Almeida as Governor in Cochin, India.
Along the way, Magellan and his company will be tasked with negotiating a trade alliancewith Viceroy Tumar in Senegal, navigating past the dreaded Cape in perilous storms and frigidwinter conditions, subduing hostile forces in Mombasa, and upon arrival to India, fighting inthe great naval battle of Cannanore.
