About the book: 2001 / XVII century. For almost a century now there has been a fierce struggle between England and Spain for dominance of the seas and new colonies. Relations of blood feud have long developed between the noble families of the two countries - Lancaster and Delgato. The voluntary and involuntary interweaving of destinies, chases, fights, deaths and deliverances, sea battles, slavery and pirates, fierce hatred and... a tender, who knows where it came from, trembling feeling - this is the illogical logic of life, before which both blood feud and enmity pale states.
