    About this ebook

    Spain 1492. Two adolescents fleeing the fires of the Inquisition with their families are catapulted into a very different and dangerous world in Portugal.

    In Lisbon, fifteen year old Ari, finds himself embroiled in Court intrigue when his father is appointed Royal Astrologer to a cruel, capricious King who is bent of finding the sea route to the Indies. Paloma, meanwhile, becomes marooned in an isolated country convent, where she must conceal her true identity to survive.

    Fate throws the couple together and they fall in love. But when Ari breaks his oath of loyalty to the King, he risks execution and endangers the lives of his family..

    To save his skin, he is forced to choose between his love for Paloma and his passion for Discovery and the sea.
