First draft
The Cartographer of Hollow Vale
In a kingdom where maps are rewritten by royal decree, sixteen-year-old Mara Vale discovers that some places refuse to stay erased. When her village begins vanishing from every chart and record, she is forced to follow an illegal old map into the borderlands, where roads move, names matter, and the truth has been deliberately misdrawn. The deeper she goes, the more she learns that the kingdom's neat borders are built on a lie that could swallow everyone she knows.
