"From his father, Athos inherited sea charts that had been passed down by captains and hydrographers, augmented by generations. He drew his great-grandfather's trading routes for me in chalk on a black slate learner's globe. Even as a child, even as my blood past was drained away from me, I understood that if I were strong enough to accept it, I was being offered a second history."
