After being wrongly accused of murder, eighteen-year-old Francisco Diaz is forced to flee from Spain and to stow away on a ship. He is discovered, sold into slavery, and shipped to the silver mines of Mexico City. There he befriends the wily old salt of a pirate, Captain Bartholomew Thomas, who is planning a daring jailbreak. But Thomas isn't satisfied with mere escape. He uses his unusual influence over people to arrange for Francisco to work in the mint, striking cob coins and making jewelry. Thomas's greater plan's success depends on information he hopes Francisco can provide. Will they escape the cruelty of slavery? What is this mysterious power that Thomas has over everyone - including the mine manager himself? Will Thomas's grand scheme to strip the mines of their riches be successful?
