A dying woman — a founder of the industry that turned remembering into property — hires the one cartographer ever struck off for telling the truth. The commission: chart her most important memory, an afternoon she can prove never happened.
The Vane Commission survives in three settlements. In one, memories are inked as terrain on vellum, and every certification is graded against an authored fiction. In another, they are surveyed to slate, and reading turns out to be writing. In the third, they are cut out whole, cured into stones, and traded — each dissolved by a single reading. Every settlement is complete. Every one is signed by the same hand. No two share a world.
Between them: the working papers of the Office of Residual Provenance, and an examiner with no provenance of her own, assigned to determine — where determinable — what actually happened.
Three answers. One commission. A book about the difference between what happened and what is true.
