In 16th century North Africa, Queen Aicha has lost everything: her husband, her homeland, and her claim to power. Exiled to the coastal city of Tetouan, she faces a new threat as European forces close in. With no army and few allies, she forms a daring alliance with the notorious pirate Admiral Barbossa, a man whose loyalty is as unpredictable as the sea. Together, they mount a defence that will determine the fate of a city and its people. But as enemies multiply and betrayal lurks within, Aicha must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for freedom.

A sweeping tale of resilience, rebellion, and unlikely partnership.
