The Spanish Empire is regarded as history's most powerful Empire that was the equivalent to Rome & the British Empire. The concept of it being so powerful, became a reality at the start of the 16th century due to the discovery of the Americas after European explorers venture to the continents, and return to Europe thus reporting to their respective governments of what they saw and discovered while visiting places that would-be modern-day nations such as the United States, Canada and Mexico and the rest. To suffice and say that what draw European to the Americas, where reasons that most of us in the 21st century already knew in some extent but most of the reason of their visits weren't taught in schools simply because it doesn't go with the narrative of what a peaceful country they "have". But to make my point across is that most explorers came in search of riches and lost places that are still fables, but to a European in the 16th century were true simply because the ignorance & rampant lack of critical thinking were more relevant with people unless they were rich in most instances.............Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, to the third - installment of the Race a Pirate Story Series. This Story takes place two centuries, before the first book (The Race a Pirate Story) & (Shangri-La) during the first half of the 16th century. The story follows Alejandro Knight, ancestor to both protagonists of Kenneth & Horatio Knight of the 18th century; as he ventures and follow Juan Ponce de León to the new world ( The Americas ) in search of glory and treasure, and possibly the whereabouts of the so called legend of the Fountain of Youth that has hypnotized many sailors of his era including members of the then Imperial Spanish government, that was present in Spain at the time partly because as devout Catholics they desire to know especially understand whether or not a place of such kind exist even though in reality it actually does but it's not what the Spanish thinks it's supposed to be! As Alejandro makes his way to what is now considered Florida in 1519, along with Ponce de león and his crew; they begin to ponder and think on whether or not venturing out to find the fountain of youth was an innovative idea because it harbors many secrets that the antagonist & secondary protagonist of the last book knew, thus it wasn't privy to humankind partly because it was hidden deep in the heart of the Florida everglades.
