Conquerabia: The Struggle for Identity is an exhilarating plunge into the tumultuous and captivating history of Trinidad. From the moment Christopher Columbus set foot on its shores in 1498 to the spectacular handover from Spanish rule to Britain's Ralph Abercromby, this masterfully fictionalised account breathes life into the birth of a nation, illuminating the pivotal events that forged its path. Step into the shoes of Trinidad's earliest settlers and feel the weight of history as you navigate through the island's most dramatic episodes. Experience the chilling reign of the island's first British governor, Thomas Picton, whose ruthless governance and the horrific torture of young Luisa Calderon cast a dark shadow over the fledgling colony. Feel the tension and the triumph as the shackles of slavery are broken, transforming the island and igniting the indomitable spirit of its people.
