La presente novela histórica se desarrolla entre España y América bajo el reinado imperial de Felipe II. Una pareja formada por tío y sobrina parten de incógnito desde Cádiz con destino a Veracruz, con la consigna de transportar un libro de herbolaria indígena médica del cual solo existen tres ejemplares. Ambos ignoran que forman parte de una intriga para obtener, de forma exclusiva, la fórmula del carmín de Indias o Nocheztli, lo que significaría para la Corona española un ingreso mayor que el de la plata. Los jóvenes sufren un accidentado periplo hasta llegar hasta el fondo de su verdadera misión y en sus travesías conocerán a asombrosos personajes de la época.
