Jack Shaftoe is enslaved aboard a Barbary galley until he and his companions seize an opportunity to escape and pursue a fortune in Spanish gold. Their journey across the Mediterranean and beyond turns piracy, global trade and the movement of bullion into parts of a single contest over who controls money.
Eliza operates within the court of Louis XIV while managing spies, family claims and financial schemes that reach England and the Dutch Republic. The alternating narratives gradually reveal that Jack’s treasure and Eliza’s political manoeuvres are connected through the same international network of credit, war and revenge.
