"At the beginning of the 17th century, Cartagena de Indias is the most fascinating city in the new world. All the land and sea routes of the Spanish Empire flow into it, as its formidable fortifications store the gold and silver reserves destined to satisfy the always pressing needs of the King of Spain.

There, almost unwittingly, he becomes the key player in the clash between two opposing worlds: the emerging colonial one and the indigenous and in decline one."--
