The Cartographer of Ash
When a border town begins to vanish from every map except one, a practical surveyor is forced to follow the changing roads into the old ashlands. She discovers the disappearance is tied to an ancient boundary spell that is quietly unmaking the country, one mile at a time. The journey turns into a race to decide whether the land can be saved without restoring the empire that first drew its lines.
