The Cartographer's Daughter
When Eleanor Hartwell inherits her father's collection of antique maps, she expects to find family history-or perhaps a modest inheritance. Instead, she discovers drawings that show impossible places: floating islands, underwater cities, and doorways to realms that exist beyond the edge of normal reality.
Her father wasn't just a cartographer of remote British territories. He was a mapper of hidden dimensions, and his final maps reveal the location of the Shadowlands-a dark realm whose malevolent inhabitants feed on human fear and despair. When Eleanor realizes her father was murdered for documenting their territory, she understands that she has inherited more than just maps: she has become the target of creatures that should not exist.
Guided by an ancient compass that points toward destinations beyond earthly comprehension, Eleanor must navigate doorways hidden in London churches, sail to mysterious islands that bear her own name, and gather allies from across multiple dimensions. But the barriers between worlds are weakening, and the Shadowlands are preparing for a convergence that will allow them to pour into every reality they can reach.
As Eleanor follows her father's legacy deeper into realms that defy imagination, she discovers that her mother was also a guardian of hidden knowledge-and that her own blood holds the power to either save existence itself or doom it to eternal darkness.
The Cartographer's Daughter is a haunting tale of adventure between worlds, where the greatest maps are not those that show where to go, but those that reveal who you are meant to become. Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
