This is another story about the great Spanish adventure. More than five hundred years ago, in 1519, food shortages and diseases ravaged Spain while Magellan began the voyages that would result in the starting point of the Spaniard domination of the South Sea. This is another story about a great conquest. Years later, when the race to conquer the unknown reached its peak, the sailor Alvaro de Mendana died during the journey, leaving his crew without a commander. Then his wife, Isabel Barreto, decides to take over and reconquer the places that her husband had discovered. From Pontevedra to the South Seas, Isabel faced the wind, tide, and prejudices of her time, but nothing could stop her ambition of writing her own future. The true story of the first woman who conquered the ocean. With his unique ability to turn history into adventure, in this novel, Javier Torres de Ugarte tells us the real life of the first woman to hold the title of admiral and advanced officer of the Ocean Sea, as well as general of the naval expedition and governor of the places founded under her dominion. But beyond any title, this is the story of an extraordinary woman who, to become the Queen of the South Seas, first had to take control of her destiny.
