The Salt Road Ledger
In 1840s Anatolia, a Cambridge-trained map copyist inherits a damaged ledger that may prove a disputed caravan route, and the only way to verify it is to travel the road itself. She joins a cautious dragoman, a smuggler with useful manners, and a caravan under pressure from bandits, border officials, and their own competing stories.
