In 1527, conquistador Pánfilo de Narváez set sail from a Spanish port to claim the Gulf Coast for the Spanish crown and achieve wealth and glory comparable to that of Hernán Cortés. His ship carried six hundred men and nearly a hundred horses. But from the moment Narváez's expedition landed in Florida, it was plagued by misfortunes—navigational errors, disease, famine, resistance from indigenous tribes. Within a year, only four remained alive: the expedition's treasurer, Cabeza de Vaca; the hidalgo, Alonso del Castillo; Andrés Dorantes; and his Moroccan slave, Mustafa al-Zamori, or Estebanico, as the Spaniards nicknamed him. The four hapless conquerors would embark on a long journey across the Americas, which would transform the proud conquistadors into humble servants, then into frightened fugitives and healer-preachers.

The fictional memoirs of a Moroccan slave, whose story was not recorded in the annals of history, resurrect the astonishing pages of the conquest of America.
