Early draft
When a mapmaker who can only draw places after they have been damaged is hired to chart a kingdom of shifting borders, she finds the roads are changing for reasons no surveyor should ignore. Each new route she records seems to pull old grudges, buried magic, and half-forgotten debts back into the open.
