The Cartographer of Dead Roads

By: Vorne, Aelys

Rowan Vess maps roads that shouldn't exist.

For twelve years, she's been the empire's most precise cartographer - charting trade routes, forgotten paths, and crumbling roads across the Duskreach.

Then she draws a road no one built.

It doesn't appear on any official map. It shouldn't exist. And yet - it is perfectly accurate.

When Rowan investigates, she uncovers a truth buried for three hundred years: a vanished city, a war erased from history, and a hidden network of roads built not for the living... but for the dead.

Now someone is using them.

The dead are moving with purpose.

And Rowan is the only person who can see where they're going.

The Cartographer of Dead Roads is a dark gothic fantasy mystery about forbidden knowledge, buried history, and the cost of seeing what others refuse to see - perfect for readers who crave atmospheric, slow-burning tension with a sharp, supernatural edge.
