The Princess Who Mapped the Palace
Eleven years ago, eight-year-old Princess Yun Zhao watched her father the Emperor die and her uncle the Regent seal the palace archives before she fled into exile with a single servant. Now nineteen and trained in surveying by a retired army cartographer, she returns to the capital under a dead woman's name to join the Bureau of Maps — the one office with a legal reason to walk every corridor of the palace and chart what the Regent has hidden. Each corridor she surveys reveals another secret passage, another sealed room, another piece of the night her father died; and the Regent's own cold, watchful chief inspector keeps finding her exactly where a mapmaker has no reason to be.
