LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Azteca America, the fastest-growing Hispanic television network in the country, is pleased to announce the debut of the captivating novela "Xica."

With proven success, the novela is based on a true story, which narrates the 18th century rise of a beautiful and ambitious slave, Xica, who uses her wit and power of seduction to climb out of poverty and eventually be crowned Empress.

Xica is the illegitimate daughter of the town comendador, the ranking authority appointed by the crown of Portugal in the Brazilian diamond mining town of Tijuco. Unwilling to recognize Xica as his daughter, the comendador sells her into slavery, first to the local brothel and then to an elderly Sergeant Major.

However, Xica's true love is the young, new comendador, Joao Fernandes, who buys Xica from her former owner and frees her, taking her in as her lover.

Starring Tais Araujo, Victor Wagner, Drica Moraes and Carlos Alberto, the novela is a brilliant combination of drama and humor, where passionate love is met with intrigue and deceit.
