He's just a mapmaker. That's what he wants you to think. Falco has a gift for reading coastlines, a berth on every ship worth boarding, and a debt he means to settle: a family scattered across the world, and a thread he's never stopped pulling. Chasing it will carry him through fallen cities, hidden fortunes, courts within courts, and every horizon he can reach, one voyage at a time. A monthly adventure serial following one man's journey across a vast, unmapped world. Every episode is a complete adventure on its own. Underneath all of them, one long voyage, still being chronicled by the man who lived to write it down.
