The Cartographer’s Daughter

Some maps lead us home. Others lead us to truth.
When renowned cartographer Thaddeus Reid vanishes without a trace, his daughter Elara discovers his life’s true work: maps that capture not just mountains and rivers, but the emotional landscapes of the people and places they represent.
As Elara sifts through her father’s mysterious past, she uncovers a decades-old tragedy—her mother’s murder at the hands of a man from a remote mountain village called Valera. Now, Thaddeus has gone back to confront his wife’s killer, and Elara must find him before his quest for vengeance destroys them both.
Armed with her father’s maps and her own emerging ability to influence emotional landscapes, Elara journeys through grief canyons, memory forests, and villages where feelings are forbidden. Along the way, she discovers that true resilience isn’t about hardening yourself against pain, but learning to navigate it with purpose.
In a race against time, Elara must reach her father before he exacts his revenge, confront the man who murdered her mother, and help a community heal from decades of emotional suppression. But the most challenging terrain she’ll have to map lies within—her own uncharted heart.
A spellbinding adventure about love, loss, and the courage to face our deepest emotions, The Cartographer’s Daughter charts a course through the geography of the human heart and the legacy we choose to leave behind.
