L'aventure et le danger se trouvent juste hors du bord de la carte dans cette nouvelle trilogie swashbuckling.
Une carte du monde ? Pourquoi le roi a-t-il besoin de l'un de ces deux ? En outre, tout le monde sait que si vous allayez trop loin dans les deux sens, vous tomberez du bord, et si cela ne vous tuait pas, Genesi, le dragon de la mort n'attendrait pas.
Le roi est déterminé à découvrir ce qui se trouve au-delà du monde connu, et a promis un beau prix au capitaine du bateau qui peut lui apporter une carte du monde entier. Pour cela, ils auront besoin de cartographistes et Quinn de 14 ans est étonné d'être l'un des choisis. Alors que ses frères plus âgés attendent l'aventure, Quinn se contente d'une vie calme à la ferme, mais lorsque le mot de son talent spécial sort il n'a aucun choix que de ranger ses sacs et de rejoindre l'équipage dépareillé d'esclaves et de stowares à bord des Libertas.
Les autres concurrents feront tout pour gagner, mais le plus grand danger peut venir du monstre marin étrange chaud sur leur queue ou des terres mystérieuses et sans charte pour lesquelles ils sont liés. Personne ne sait ce qui se trouve hors du bord de la carte, mais Quinn est sur le point de savoir qu'il est plus que n'importe qui qui qui a fait des économies. . .

Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
A. L. Tait grew up dreaming of world domination. Unfortunately, at the time there were only alphabet sisters B. L. and C. A. and long-suffering brother M. D. M. to practise on . . . and parents who didn't look kindly upon sword fights, plank-walking or bows and arrows. But dreams don't die and The Mapmaker Chronicles and The Ateban Cipher, the author's two series of books for children, are the result. A. L. lives in country New South Wales with a family, a garden, three goldfish and a very cheeky border collie. A. L. Tait writes fiction and non-fiction for adults under another name.
