The Cartographer's Debt
In 1811, a disgraced surveyor is sent to the Scottish Highlands to recover a missing set of military maps before they fall into the wrong hands. The search pulls her into a smuggling network, old clan loyalties, and a private bargain she made years ago and never paid off. What begins as a practical errand turns into a race through mountains, weather, and lies she can no longer keep tidy.
