First draft
The Cartographer of Salt and Ash
When a junior mapmaker in a coastal city discovers that certain roads only appear after rain, she follows them into a chain of forgotten islands that should not exist on any chart. Each island is held together by old bargains, practical lies, and a failing magic that keeps the sea from reclaiming everything. She has to decide whether to preserve the maps that keep people safe or expose the truth that would change how the whole archipelago is ruled.
