Set against the backdrop of 1498, the narrative follows young captain Vasco da Gama as he embarks on an unprecedented journey from Portugal to the Indies, navigating around Africa and across the Indian Ocean. His expedition, marked by blood-red Crusader crosses, occurs during a time of heightened tensions between Christianity and Islam. Over two pivotal voyages lasting six years, da Gama engages in fierce maritime conflicts that reshape the destinies of Europe, Africa, and Asia, ultimately altering the course of history.
