The narrative centers around Diego, the son of the famous navigator Christopher Columbus, and his relationship with Don Felipe, a young nobleman of Castile. Set against the backdrop of late 15th century Spain, the story explores themes of adventure, friendship, and the significant historical events surrounding Columbus's explorations and the fall of Granada.  The opening of the novel introduces us to two boys in a monastery, where they become friends under the guidance of Fray Piña. Diego, proud of his father's ambitions to sail westward in search of new lands, shares his excitement about Columbus’ dream with Felipe, who is of noble descent. Their discussions reveal their youthful aspirations and the societal pressures they are about to face as they prepare to journey to court. The stage is set for a timeline of anticipation and adventure as Christopher Columbus prepares for a voyage that promises to change the world, leading the boys through a path filled with historical significance and personal growth.
