Piri’s Lost Chart

A missing chart. A stolen secret. The making of a map that would change how the world was seen. Gallipoli, 1513. Davut is a young apprentice working in the shipyard, grinding pigments and preparing parchment in the household of the renowned navigator Piri Reis. When a valuable leather case is found empty, suspicion falls on those closest to the captain. As Davut searches for the truth, he becomes entangled in a dangerous struggle involving foreign merchants, hidden motives, and a map whose secrets are worth far more than gold. Against the backdrop of Ottoman seafaring and the bustling port of Gallipoli, Davut must find the courage to do what is right—even when loyalty and truth seem to pull in opposite directions. As Piri Reis works to complete his extraordinary world map, Davut discovers that great achievements are built not only by famous captains, but also by the people whose work and choices make them possible. Piri's Lost Chart is an illustrated historical adventure inspired by the world of Piri Reis, exploring courage, craftsmanship, loyalty, and the remarkable story behind a landmark of early cartography.
