About this audiobook
Bristol, 1873. In the Empire's survey offices, a map that is correctly drawn becomes true. Only the Royal Cartographic Office knows this. Only the Royal Cartographic Office is allowed to try.
When senior cartographer Edmund Wray drowns in a channel he charted himself, his widow inherits his instruments, his notebooks, and his unfinished survey of an island that appears on no other map.
The Office wants the survey back. Hester Wray wants to know what her husband was doing in a place that does not exist.
A Victorian historical mystery, a cozy fantasy, and an absolutely unputdownable read about the cost of drawing a line around a thing — for readers who like their magic ruled and their mysteries patient.
