Description
Luis Bernardo's life is turned upside down when King Dom Carlos invites him to become governor of Portugal's smallest colony, São Tomé e Principe. He is ill-prepared for the challenges of plantation life and shocked by the conditions under which the workers labour. As the English close in on São Tomé's cocoa plantations, Luis Bernardo must endeavour to protect the island and its community from exploitation. With his new role comes a daunting task: to balance the interests of the colonists with those of the European powers vying for control. This gripping historical novel explores the complexities of colonial life and the human cost of economic ambition.
