FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING WINNER OF THE PRIX SORCIÈRES
From Europe to Africa, to the Caribbean, Alma tells a gripping story of hope, perseverance, and love.
“Vivid and exact…this is a book about heroism.”—The New York Times
1786. Alma lives with her family in an African valley, isolated from the rest of the world. Her days are spent exploring their blissful homeland; until her little brother finds the only way out.
Meanwhile, in Lisbon, the petty thief Joseph Mars manages to get himself on board the Douce Amélie, a slave ship, to look for a fabulous treasure. The ship''s captain, Lazare Gardel, is also hunting for treasure, that of the notorious pirate Luc de Lerne. Alma sets out on his trail, when she comes face to face with groups of Ashanti hunters, who capture and enslave everyone they meet. The journey to bring her brother home quickly becomes an intricate mission of self-preservation.
While everyone is searching for something, Alma and Joseph''s lives become intertwined on land and sea. In a whirlwind of adventures between Africa, Europe and the Caribbean, their quests and their destinies lead them irresistibly towards each other.
