The Quiet Cartography of Ash
On a rain-swept colony world built around a failing archive of star routes, surveyor Mara Quill discovers that the maps are not records but instructions, and someone has been quietly rewriting them. As old pathways collapse and new ones lead people somewhere they cannot name, she has to decide whether to preserve a broken system or expose what it was really for.
