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. 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. 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. Epic, elegant, and unafraid to get ink on its hands, The Hollow Atlas is a literary fantasy about creation, censorship, and the dangerous hope that naming a thing might save it.
