In the summer of 1650, as Portugal was embroiled in yet another of its many wars with Spain, Luís had just completed his last year of school. He fell in love with Ana, and the two youngsters explored their erotic love with fervour, candour and ingenuity. But trouble brewed in their idyllic existence, and after completing one year of studies at university, Luís' life changed dramatically. He was thrust into perilous adventures and journeys across the seas, to the far-flung reaches of the empire. He stared death in the face, endured atrocities, fought against injustice and survived by his wits - and also loved passionately. Despite all the ordeals his essential nature remained intact, with a modest assurance, an open sensuality and an enduring love of life. A romantic tale sweeping across an empire in a state of decline. Adventure, drama, humour, love and passion, confectioned perfectly and spiced enticingly with erotica, makes this an unforgettable read.
