Description

North Africa, 1640. A small city in al-Mari Ifriq dreams of reaching its borders to the coast. Its dusty roads and districts set the stage for the complex politics of surrounding maritime companies vying for control of each other, the city, and the entire region. This is a tale of Moorish Company Bosses, corsairs, and kingdoms entangled in legitimate and illicit affairs. Three African states are at the heart of this story: one ruled by corsair politics, another on the brink of war, and a nomadic nation marked for enslavement. The lives of merchants, slavers, and gangsters become intertwined with those of revolutionary warriors as they navigate the treacherous landscape of North Africa. A Company of Moors is a gripping tale of power struggles, alliances, and survival in 17th-century North Africa.
