The Cartographer of Hollow Roads
When a disgraced mapmaker discovers that certain roads in a broken empire can be folded, erased, or quietly stolen, she is pulled into a race to stop an old route from reopening. The journey takes her through border towns, ruined milestones, and the kind of magic that works best when nobody is looking too closely. It is a story about travel, memory, and the practical nuisance of being right at the wrong moment.
