Thandie is a cartographer, not a hero. She maps the veins of the Greater Membranes, shuts her eyes during executions, prays she won't be selected before forty. But when she discovers an epochal threat and is ordered to stay silent, she becomes the heretic cartographer—hunted from the high towers down to the sewers.
