The Cartographer of Ash

Twenty years after the Burn, when the sky cracked open and cities folded into themselves, Mara Voss trades in the only currency that matters: safe passage. She alone can read the shifting poison-lands, mapping the Ash Roads that reconnect humanity's scattered refuges across the skeletal remains of the Eastern Seaboard. But when a dying stranger presses a rusted compass into her palm—one that points not north, but toward the source of the Burn itself—Mara must guide a desperate caravan through the Hollow States to a place no living soul has returned from, where the earth still screams and the dead do not lie still.
