Full Review by Books Paradise
Nora Elston writes horizons the way other authors write characters — alive, restless, and impossible to ignore. This is the rare adventure that earns its scale through heart rather than spectacle.
Cartographer Mira Vale is handed a map of a coastline that no ship has ever charted. Chasing it past the edge of the known world, she finds a horizon that moves when she looks away, and a crew who each carry a reason for never turning back. A sweeping tale about the pull of the unknown and the cost of following it.
