After the successful expedition of Malaspina, many mestizos from New Spain and Peru migrated to the southwestern pacific to populate the Spanish settlements. The viceroy of Peru appointed an audiencia, led by a captain, to govern the Spanish towns in Nova Zeelandia. Lydia, the niece of the captain, usurped and eventually replaced her paternal uncle when she realised the natives had a tradition of a female-centred leadership. Can she handle the conflicts between the Spanish settlers, the British competitors and the natives?
