For ages 7-17 years, here’s the preview:
Penny Taylor had grown up believing her grandfather’s stories—about lost markers, strange bearings, and lines on old maps that never quite stayed where they belonged.
She always thought they were just that. Stories.
But the symbol carved into the shed door that morning proved him right.
The air around Bayline Surveying felt different as she stepped toward the shed.
Sharper. Charged.
Like the land was holding its breath.
Inside, she found an old T2 theodolite (a surveying measuring instrument), a leather case, and a hand-drawn map that looked older than anything she had ever seen.
When she touched it, the ink glowed.
When she blinked, the coordinate moved.
Her grandfather once said the land remembers.
Penny was about to discover that sometimes… it remembers too much.
