A Thrilling Historical Adventure on the High Seas

Orphaned by the plague and left with nothing, young Mateo must find his way in a world that offers him little hope. Fate intervenes when he becomes a cabin boy on the legendary expedition led by Captain-General Ferdinand Magellan. The voyage’s true destination is a closely guarded secret, but whispers among the crew suggest that Magellan will be the first to reach the Spice Islands by sailing west—returning with immeasurable riches.

A Story of Courage, Loyalty, and Survival

As the expedition sails into the unknown, Mateo experiences the perils and wonders of life at sea. He forms unbreakable bonds of friendship, discovers the thrill of first love, and learns the meaning of loyalty. But the ocean is unforgiving, and tensions among the crew rise. When betrayal and treachery threaten the voyage, Mateo and Magellan find themselves in grave danger. Who will survive the journey to the edge of the world?
