The Grant brothers. Toughened before the mast on the storm-lashed New England coast, rebels against England's tyrannical King George III, only they would dare to penetrate the wild mystery, the fierce beauty, the vast promise of the South American continent.

JACK GRANT. The stalwart elder son. Sailing was in his blood...and so was the dark-haired beauty who loved his brother.

JAMEY GRANT. The hot-blooded youth. He was driven by two fierce dreams: to find the gold of El Dorado and to possess the high-born woman destiny had denied him.

CHRISTINA DE SOUSA. Exotic flower of the Portuguese nobility. She was seduced by one brother...and bound to another.

They were rivals, outlaws against the king.
