The Villiage at the End of the Map (Paperback)

Paperback. THE VILLAGE AT THE END OF THE MAPEvery road in Bramblecross runs through six household keys. Tobin has spent his life believing that was the whole truth.When a stranger's key doesn't match any surviving family, Tobin discovers that the map his village trusted was never complete - it was edited. Somewhere beyond the roads everyone knows, a seventh household was erased from the record, and the corridor to Orison Gate that everyone assumed was neutral ground answers to a Hall that has been quietly closing accounts for generations, including some it shouldn't have had the right to close.To find out what was cut, Tobin and a small company of villagers - a keeper's daughter, a disgraced Hall clerk, a woman carrying a debt she didn't choose - have to leave the only roads their keys were ever meant to open. What they find is a system built to make erasure look like paperwork, and a cost for repairing it that not everyone in the party survives.The Village at the End of the Map is a slow-burn fantasy of maps, custody, and consent - where every road is also a ledger, every key is also a claim, and the bravest thing a person can do is admit a structure was broken instead of finishing what broke it.
