On the writing desk
First draft
In a city where maps can be rewritten and streets shift to suit old bargains, seventeen-year-old Mara Vale works in her aunt’s archive, cataloguing roads that no longer exist. When she finds a hidden atlas that predicts the city’s future instead of its past, she discovers that one missing route is tied to the disappearance of her brother and to a secret the city has been built to hide.
