An Uncharted World

Inspired by the true story of an African woman erased by history, until now.

When curious young Morayo slips away to glimpse the strange pale men repairing their ship along the West African coast, she cannot imagine the price of her curiosity. In an instant, she is stolen from her Yorùbá homeland and swept into the brutal machinery of the sixteenth-century slave trade. Renamed Maria, she is carried across oceans and empires, from Brazil to Peru, from Spanish courts to the dangerous voyage of English privateer Francis Drake.
