François Costentin is a French cartographer's assistant, fascinated by India and the city of Goa. Jean Moquet is an apothecary and surgeon in charge of King Cabinet of curiosities, whose unique obsession is to grow herbs in Goa. Dona Margarida de Fonseca Serrao, age 24, is a widow and a Portuguese noble, requested in Goa. All three are certain they are making the right choice in following their dreams when they set sail from Lisbon on March 29, 1608. But none could ever imagine the horrors of a fourteen-month voyage and the difficult life in the hostile and highly coded society of Goa.
