An Uncharted World by Susan Storer Clark, History Muse

An Uncharted World

"It was my curiosity that got me in trouble."

It is 1574. The growing transatlantic slave trade is ravaging West Africa. A Yorùbá girl, Morayo, goes to look at a strange ship near her home and is snatched into a terrifying journey: slavery in Brazil, servitude in Peru, and capture by privateer Francis Drake on his way around the world.

Can she regain her freedom? Is there any way she can get back to her home?

Inspired by the true story of a real African woman, Morayo's tale of resilience is told through her own eyes, and through those of a wide range of characters: priests and pirates, aristocrats, freed slaves and the divine trickster Èṣù. It takes the reader around the world and into the uncharted depths of the human heart.

An Uncharted World will be available soon!
