Description
In 1492 Granada, as the last Muslim kingdom in Spain faces the threat of conquest and the Inquisition, a gifted mapmaker and his fiercely independent friend must flee into an uncertain world. Their journey leads them across perilous seas and toward a mysterious island, where legend, faith, and imagination intertwine. Blending historical adventure with magical realism, the story explores friendship, freedom, cultural identity, and the human desire to find a place beyond the borders imposed by others. Lyrical and richly imaginative, it offers a moving meditation on exile, resistance, and the power of stories to redraw the world.
