The Cartographer of Ashes
In a city built on old volcanic stone, maps are not just records but bindings, and the wrong line can wake something that should have stayed buried. When a weary mapmaker discovers that whole districts are being quietly erased from the city’s official charts, she is pulled into a feud between the people who control memory and the things beneath the streets that remember too much.
