Aegean, 17th century, the century of piracy. The pirate Ioannis Kapsis writes history at sea. He liberates Milos from Ottoman rule. He is crowned king, but a great love affair with the governor's daughter marks his life. At the same time, Westerners and mainly Maltese pirates flood the Archipelago, which is a field of religious and vested interests conflict. Great pirates like Hugo de Crévelier, the Tamerikour brothers, Michalis Maniatis, Angelos Maria Vitali and others join forces to confront the Ottoman threat. The Aegean remains the apple of discord between East and West. Battles, conspiracies, and betrayals determine a wild game of profit and dominance.
