His oldest friend is alive somewhere beyond every chart, and the only map is a stack of letters.
Malacca has fallen, and Magalhães, who fought through the whole campaign without rank or recognition, is running a section of an unfinished wall. Then word comes from the east: of the ships sent to find the clove islands, one is lost, and her captain, Francisco Serrão, is alive somewhere no chart in the fortress can place. His first note gives no bearing and no distance, only a warning: do not believe the leagues.
With his friend Tomé Serrano, Magalhães builds a different kind of record, every claim tied to the man who made it. Laid on a chart with a length of thread, the letters raise a question about where the world's dividing line truly falls, one he dares tell no one.
