In 1920, the Treaty of Sèvres promised a dream: a sovereign home for the Kurdish people. For Azad, a young translator and mapmaker, it was the dawn of a new era. But dreams are fragile in the halls of global power.
 
Three years later, in the grand Palais de Rumine in Lausanne, Switzerland, the world’s superpowers gathered to redraw the map of the Middle East. While diplomats traded secrets and partitioned ancient lands for oil and influence, Azad watched from the shadows as his nation was systematically deleted from history.
 
Follow Azad’s journey from the hopeful cafés of Istanbul to the cold corridors of Swiss diplomacy, and finally back to a homeland where his language and identity have become a crime.
