Unable to live up to his warrior father's expectations, thirteen-year-old Kehl instead develops his skills as a cartographer. After being kidnapped by pirates and forced to map the uncharted waters surrounding the Empire, Kehl learns that his future depends on breaking from his past. Detailed evocation of setting makes this story an enjoyable read. An author's note describes the tale's inspiration.
