The story
History from
the other shore.
When Columbus returned to Spain in 1493, he brought gold, exotic plants and birds—and six Taíno captives intended to prove he had reached the edge of India.
Narrated by fourteen-year-old Guarocuya, the novel follows their voyage and their encounter with the court of Isabella and Ferdinand, the Inquisition, and a Spain transformed by conquest and religious conflict.
