The Deep Paths
The Last Route, Book 6
Some routes run beneath the world.
Now available — published 19 March 2026
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.
