First draft
The Cartographer of Ash
In a city where old libraries are being stripped for firewood, a quiet apprentice mapmaker discovers that some maps do more than show the world. His master’s last unfinished atlas points toward a road that only appears when the wrong names are spoken aloud. He sets out to find it before the people hunting the atlas can use it to open a route into the buried kingdom beneath the city.
