The Spice Race is on – and Captain Ferdinand Magellan''s expedition to find the treasure will change the course of history. Welcome to a bold new telling of his famed but ill-fated voyage.

This is the epic true story of the sailors who circumnavigated the Earth for the very first time, and of the people who shaped the voyage along the way.
