Wren Ashwick thought she was learning the Last Route: the villages, the weather, the unwritten rules that matter more than Guild protocol.
Then the Route opens somewhere it shouldn’t: a quiet threshold in the woods, a warmed stone that hums under her palm, a path that isn’t on any map.
With Thistle on her shoulder and her satchel full of letters, Wren steps onto the Deep Paths, the forgotten ways beneath the world where old magic still listens. And once you’ve walked them, you can’t pretend you haven’t.
