Synopsis[]
When diligent yet unappreciated clerk, Miya Isami, develops a new form map-making technique, her traditionalist superiors at the Imperial Cartographic Bureau heap scorn upon her. But when her novel approach exposes a swathe of missing land on the Scorpion-Lion border, Isami stumbles onto something far more significant than a mere mapping error. In recognition of her talents, an Emerald Magistrate dispatches Isami to help resolve a dispute over the contested border. There, she must attempt to negotiate between the proud, warlike Lion and the secretive Scorpion, and uncover the truth before the fragile peace is shattered by war.
