Mapmaker part 1: A Dimming Star

In a world where separate lands refuse to accept foreign ideas and explore the unknown, Lilla plunges outside of her countryside home to fulfill her dream of creating a map of the world, while acting as one of the few bridges between nature and the xenophobic peoples of the world. Born with a gift of foresight through dreams from Queen Mab, the faery queen of dreams, and a close relationship with the spirits of nature, Lilla embarks on her quest both for herself and nature to re-establish the relationship with people and nature. Along the way she meets Rayne, a wanted gambler and thief from a large city, Twyla, a clever and beautiful warrior cast out from her tribe of nomads, and Annick a justice seeking desert prince, who join her journey.
