The Black Compass
In 1794, a disgraced mapmaker in the Highlands is forced to guide a small party through winter roads, military checkpoints and half-buried old loyalties to recover a stolen chart before it is used to betray a hidden route north. The journey becomes less about the map than about who gets to decide what is worth preserving, and at what cost.
