The River Remembers His Name

Cartographer Marina Azevedo is dragged into the Encante, a drowned city beneath the Amazon, by Caio do Remanso—the boto shifter who blames her maps for sealing his people away. Her rain-ink can redraw the river, but every line consumes a memory of home, while every night Caio remains human erases another tributary from his mind. To escape the river court, they must destroy the map both sides need and trust what remains after their pasts are gone.

A mapmaker trapped in a drowned city must trust the river-dolphin shifter losing one memory each night—or let his court turn her map into a cage.
