The story
Guide Mariam earns her living crossing routes everyone else has abandoned. A dying traveler leaves her a brass compass that refuses geography. It points to brothers, rivals, smugglers, and the daughter Mariam has avoided for seven years. Each stop changes the map and the person holding it.
