In 1464, an attack on the House of Niccolo’s finances drives Nicholas to pursue a West African trading expedition in search of gold. The voyage follows Atlantic and river routes where Portuguese ambitions, local rulers, established Islamic commerce and European rivalry complicate every bargain. Nicholas’s determination to reach Timbuktu forces him to confront the human cost of treating exploration as a commercial contest.
