Marco Polo is seventeen years old and dying to travel around the world. That’s why he is so excited to join his father and his uncle in their trip to the Mongol Empire. After leaving Venice for the first time, he can’t wait to discover the marvels of unknown lands and then tell his stories. And he will be able to, thanks to the legendary emperor Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan will grant him permission to travel freely through his fascinating empire under one condition: Marco Polo has to spend five separate nights with him, talking, telling him his stories and answering his questions. These nights can take place anytime, and Marco Polo will have to come when he is called, with only one rule - he can never lie to the emperor. Will Marco Polo be up to his promise?
