In the golden age of the Silk Road, when the Mongol Empire stitched together the known world, a young Persian cartographer is given a dying man's last charge: complete the true map.
The fragment Darius carries is more than geography, it is a secret key. On the road he meets Soraya, a healer's daughter. Together with Temur, a Mongol warrior who has begun to question the orders he was born to follow, they cross deserts and mountain passes, survive sandstorms and ambushes, and piece together a map that draws from Greek, Persian, Chinese, and Arab traditions.
For readers who love the sweeping historical adventures of the Silk Road, this is a story of maps that shape destinies, of love found on the road and surrendered to something larger, and of the stubborn, necessary belief that the chain is worth the cost.
