Free · eBook · instant download

“A missing village. A murdered mother. A map someone tried to erase.”

When forensic cartographer Iris Calder learns that the man who raised her has died, she expects grief. She does not expect the letter he left behind. Because hidden inside is a devastating truth: You are not my biological daughter. Thirty years earlier, Iris was found alone in a Scottish forest, clutching a hand-drawn map to a village that officially does not exist.

The opening

How it begins

“A map is a lie you have agreed to trust. The question is always: who drew it, and what did they leave out.” — Rosalind Calder, The Ethics of Cartography, 1987

For anyone who has ever suspected that the place they came from was not what they were told.

Who it is for

Is this your kind of book?

The Unmapped is literary mystery — places that were emptied — and the people erased with them. It is written for readers who want the patient kind of crime and suspense: plotted, unhurried, and more interested in what people conceal than in how loudly it ends.

This is where the series starts. Begin here and everything after it is in order.

Why buy it here

Buying from this page gets you both formats in one purchase — the EPUB for your e-reader or phone, and the PDF for everything else. There is no DRM on either file, so the book is genuinely yours: move it between devices, keep a backup, read it in ten years on something that has not been invented yet.

The download link arrives the moment the payment clears, and it is tied to the email you paid with — so if you lose the file, the link can be re-issued to that same address. And buying direct means the money goes to the person who wrote the book rather than a retailer’s cut.
