the Cartographer and Catastrophe

There were three rules in the Vaultlight Archive. She broke the third one. Sister-Cartographer Niamh Vexley has ninety years of meticulous habits, a building full of screaming maps, and absolutely no intention of bonding her soul to a dragon. Then the archive burns, she opens the one drawer she was warned never to open, and ends up soul-grafted to Azhrakith - nine hundred years old, devastatingly smug, and very bad at moderation. It's a family trait. Now her lifespan is chained to his for ten thousand years, a collector across the sea wants their bond on a dissecting table, and there is one sentence she absolutely refuses to finish saying out loud. A slow-burning fantasy of dragons, maps, grief, and very witty banter - for anyone who has ever loved a catastrophe on purpose. Book One of The Cartographer.
