The Wayward River Map

Against a landscape measured in blood and rising waters, the Three Sects race a deadly flood season—and a disgraced surveyor holds the only true map. When an outsider dares to measure what the locals prefer to leave hidden, they trigger a conflict between the comfort of old lies and the danger of true knowledge. To survive the rising tide and the wrath of entrenched factions, they must use the very land as a weapon, forging unlikely alliances and paying a brutal price for every secret dragged into the light.
