Set in the colossal medieval time, this book is a fiction written in "Lyric" style. It describes of a fictional account starting from the conquest of New World by Columbus, to the Anglo-Spanish war (1585-1604). It vividly describes the society, the monarchy and the Court of the Spanish Empire.
Captain Verne, the main protagonist; speaks of his daring adventures to fearsome parts of the World. He's the Royal Sailor at the Court of Charles I of Spain. He's set on a exploration that he needs to travel alone. In the Golden Age of Exploration, his tale is described in four major parts -
I) A New World, A New Home
II) Far beyond the South Seas
III) Arctic and the Christmas Carol
IV) The Lost Voyage to Ecstasy
These four parts combine to form "Las Cronicas" series. Each part has its own theme, its own story, one leading to the other. It is a tale of how Verne would find his lost family, how he could go against the King, how he would lead the Spanish Armada, and how would he establish true patriotism. It speaks of voyages, battles, royalty, morale, bravery, the zeal to explore, aristocracy, and even, even more. Each part has been made much interesting to delve the reader in, and make this fictional story appear like a real one.
"When Bravery, strong and harsh creates History,
Passes through the ages, ever glorified..."
So readers, I hope you'd enjoy the series....

It's been six years since Bella last saw Harry.
Bella has her own life now, raising her child on her own for almost six years, but even then she has never forgotten the pirate that she loves.
No one has seen The Belladonna since it cast off England's shore six years ago, although a new reputation is attached with the name: Death and agony. That was what was expected if anyone came across that dreaded ship. The Captain was ruthless and cruel, killing everyone he came across. They'd attack merchant ships, pirate ships, and cargo ships. Not even the children would make it out alive if they were caught by him.
The seas became a very fearful and terrifying place for people to be, no matter who they were. It became a known fact that if you went out to sea, you may never return.
Bella - knowing the new reputation - is in agony trying to figure out just what has happened to the loving man she knew and the kind crew mates on board. What had happened to them all?
One fateful day, however, Bella's question is answered as she is taken in for ransom to gain favor in the cruel pirate's eyes. But favor was not what was given that day, and Bella soon finds out who Harry has become.
And she's horrified by what she learns.
