Twenty years of the Mediterranean history, with extraordinary characters who will fight from 1560 to 1580. An epic made of horse gallops, violence and blood, as well as love, prayers, and tolerance. It is the story of men who came from harmattan, this blazing desert wind, and of Prince Abdelmalek, banished from his country by his own brothers. He will spend twenty years of his life out at sea, from an adventure to an other, from the Spanish Inquisition to the Battle of Lepanto, from the Alicante prison, to the Conquest of Tunis, before regaining his country, Morocco, invaded by Don Sebastian, King of Portugal.
