The Last Map of Wren Harbour
In a coastal town where the tide redraws the streets each night, a quiet cartographer is hired to make a final map before the harbour is swallowed by the sea. As she works, she starts to suspect the town’s shifting layout is tied to what its people have chosen to forget. The book follows her attempt to keep the place legible long enough for its inhabitants to decide what they are willing to lose.
