Ansa Vask has always trusted a good record.
Names. Times. Numbers. What was seen. What was said.
But on the Heron's newest voyage, even the most careful record begins to fail her.
A passenger disappears from an airship with nowhere to go. A city opens its gates and offers a welcome no one aboard can quite understand. Deep in an ancient forest, eleven travelers descend beneath the earth in search of something people have been trying to find for years-and discover that having the right words does not mean understanding what they mean.
Ansa writes it all down.
The conflicting memories. The unanswered questions. The details everyone else forgets. Yet the more faithfully she records the voyage, the more she begins to understand a difficult truth:
A fact can be accurate and still lead to the wrong story.
And sometimes the most important thing on a page is the space no one was willing-or able-to fill.
The Blank Page is the fourth book in the Nine Winds Saga, a fantasy adventure of ancient mysteries, impossible machines, forgotten peoples, quiet courage, and the stories that change every time they are told.
