Some maps reveal more than land.

Victorian Scotland, 1872.
Cartographer Elspeth Grant has spent her career drawing maps others take credit for. When a Highland laird offers her an independent commission to chart the remote Glen Torridan before railway surveyors arrive, she knows it may be her only chance to prove herself.

But the glen is full of contradictions.

Boundary markers stand where no map records them. Ruined villages lie hidden among the hills. And the deeper Elspeth surveys the land, the clearer it becomes that someone once deliberately rewrote the map.

The estate belongs to Malcolm Sinclair, a man burdened by family expectations and powerful investors eager to seize the land. As Elspeth's discoveries begin to threaten the very foundations of his inheritance, Malcolm must decide whether protecting his legacy matters more than confronting the truth.

With railway officials closing in and long-buried evidence emerging from the mountains, Elspeth's map may expose a secret powerful men would rather keep buried.

But once the truth is drawn in ink, it cannot be erased.
