For more than five hundred years, the world believed that the first person to have circumnavigated the earth was Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese who became the commander of the Spanish expedition Armada de Las Molucas. Magellan carried the fleet in search of the renowned Spice Islands back in 1519-1522. Unbeknownst to many, Magellan did not complete this expedition and failed to reach the Spice Islands. He died in the Battle of Mactan in Cebu, in the Philippine archipelago, only 692 nautical miles from the Moluccas. On the journey of Armada de Las Molucas, Magellan was accompanied by his trusted friend, Enrique de Molucas. Enrique was not only a confidant and a savvy interpreter to Magellan, but he was also the gateway key to the Spice Islands, from which he came. After Magellan's death, Enrique returned to the Moluccas and thus became the first person to have circumnavigated the earth by sea. Based on in-depth research and studies, this novel will explore the history of Enrique de Molucas, which has long been hidden for centuries, starting from his youth as an ordinary seaman, self-teaching numerous languages, and becoming a masterful interpreter and negotiator to becoming the right-hand man of Ferdinand Magellan, the commander of Armada de Las Molucas.
