Vigo, today
Lucía Pascal, a naval historian, has found a clue to a legendary treasure that has been lost for centuries. Everything indicates that it was part of one of the galleons that sank in the estuary during the Battle of Rande in 1702. But, before she can finish her investigations, she is found dead in her cabin on the Vigo coast. Pietro Rivas, a new sub-inspector of Italian origin, will be in charge of investigating the case along with Nagore Freire, from the Heritage Department, an extravagant woman who seems to have stepped out of another era. With the help of a strange gang of researchers, diving professionals, archaeologists, and scientists, Pietro and Nagore try to discover what happened to the researcher and what the treasure she was looking for consists of. But, when the deaths begin to follow one another, they understand that the key to unraveling the mystery lies in the true history of the Black Albatross. Vigo, 1700
The young Miranda de Quiroga returns to her Galician homeland with her family after living in the New World for a few years. There she has learned to develop her taste for nature and, especially, for insects, a hobby that will be the horror of her parents, who have arranged her marriage to the owner of one of the most important manor houses in the area. However, after the sudden death of her husband, Miranda will have to decide between becoming the first entomologist in history or defending her heritage from the Anglo-Dutch threat looming on the horizon. Along with a nobleman and a corsair friar, she will be involved in the most important naval battle in the area, one in which a large number of galleons sank off the coast of Vigo. Together they will be able to change, with their audacity, the course of history. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Inexplicable deaths. A treasure submerged in the Vigo estuary.
