First draft
The Cartographer of Ash
When a disgraced mapmaker discovers that certain roads can be erased from the world as well as the page, she is dragged into a search for the person doing the erasing. Her only clue is a set of altered maps, a stubborn river that keeps changing course, and a city that is slowly forgetting how to reach its own harbour. The journey gets messier than the neat little legend in the corner would suggest.
