Glass Succession

The king is dead.No heir. No clear successor.Only three powerful houses - and a kingdom about to fracture.Iselde Fenn, the Court Cartographer, is summoned to seal the king's private chamber. Inside, she glimpses something impossible: maps that don't match any known territory.Then the commissions begin.Each house demands a survey of their lands - individually, urgently, secretly. But as Iselde traces their borders, a pattern emerges. Every map avoids the same place.A missing region.A deliberate absence.A territory erased from history.What begins as a cartographic anomaly becomes a discovery that threatens to rewrite the rules of succession itself. Because hidden within that absence is a fourth claimant - one with a stronger right than any of the three competing houses.And unlike the others…She does not want the throne.
