I spent fifteen years as a land surveyor, walking property lines in the rain and arguing with old deeds. Somewhere in there I started drawing maps of places that don't exist. The Path to Moldrath is what happened when one of those maps refused to stay in the drawer. The series follows Edda Varr, a disgraced cartographer's apprentice, along the Ashway: the old pilgrim road that runs north to the Black Wall of Moldrath. Every map in the Reach ends at that wall. Edda's master drew one that doesn't.
