Luis Bernardo Valença is a 37-year-old bachelor, wealthy and charming, living an enviable life in the high society of early 20th-century Lisbon. His life is completely transformed when the last King of Portugal asks him to accept the difficult task of becoming governor of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe. His mission is to refute the British accusations that portray Portugal as a backward and slave-holding nation. Caught between political duty and a devastating, forbidden passion for the wife of his rival, the British consul, Valença's journey is one of intrigue and historical depth.
