Space: a tycoon's playground. The dreams of a handful of trillionaires dictate the future of humanity. Outside the reach of Earthly law and with the vast resources of the inner solar system at their disposal, the “Four Horsemen” do exactly as they please. Now, an international team of elite military women, masquerading as space colonists, are set to infiltrate and neutralize the largest and most dangerous project in human history. But nothing is that simple when rich men control the sky, as everyone involved is about to discover.

Domingos Fernandes Calabar started out as a military advisor for the Portuguese in Brazil, but these days the Portuguese have a new label for Calabar: “traitorous dog.” Now working for Dutch admiral Maarten Tromp and Sephardic pirate Moses Cohen Henriques, Calabar helps the Dutch fleet strike at Portuguese and Spanish interests on land and sea. But when bitter personal enemies put Calabar’s family in chains, he has a choice to make: help the Dutch end slavery in time, or save his wife and children now? For ultimately, this is not just Calabar’s fight. This is Calabar’s war.
