The Cartographer of Broken Roads
When a city-map in the shape of a dead star starts changing overnight, a reluctant apprentice surveyor is sent to trace the roads that no longer exist. The journey leads through flooded archives, cliffside markets and a hidden chain of ruined cities that refuse to stay lost. Every place on the map has a price, and the road itself seems determined to choose who gets to reach the end.
