The Hollow Atlas

<p>The maps of Vint Solum lie before they dry. Coasts creep. Rivers forget. Then a blank sheet of vellum arrives-warm to the touch hungry for ink-and the world begins to vanish on purpose.<br>Taren an apprentice cartographer with ink under his nails and too many questions stumbles into a secret older than the city: the Grammary a language-driven force that can bind mountains-or cut a town out of memory-with a single flawless sentence. When the blank starts eating not just landmarks but names he joins Lyss a battle-scarred linguist who once enforced the rules she now breaks. Their search pulls them beneath the sea to a reflection world where rivers flow upward and every word costs something you can't get back.<br>To stop an erasure that feeds on certainty and fear Taren must write a new sentence of the world-one that lets many tongues speak at once. Every clause carries a consequence. Every punctuation mark draws blood.<br>Epic elegant and unafraid to get ink on its hands <em>The Hollow Atlas</em> is a literary fantasy about creation censorship and the dangerous hope that naming a thing might save it.</p>
