ONNER'S BRIDGE
Genna's Line, Book One
Genna Busterson has a problem, and the problem has a name. Hers.
She shares it with her father: Gennaph Busterson, hero of fourteen counties, opener of the Corvale pass, a man who has not paid for his own ale since before she could walk. The ballads grow stranger the farther they travel. Five counties out, there's a wyvern in it somewhere.
So when Genna earns her surveyor's commission, the first thing in her life that is measured, audited, and entirely hers, she leaves home to go be a person instead of a footnote.
Three days later, the world stops adding up.
A hill gets up and leaves. Rivers crawl back into beds they abandoned generations ago. Boundaries, the exact things Genna is sworn to measure, quietly stop holding still. And on the long road home against a tide of refugees, Genna keeps doing the worst possible thing for a woman who wants credit: saving people, by knowing things she cannot explain, and then watching every deed get minted into somebody else's legend.
That's how legends work. Ask her father.
But being known is a door that opens from both sides. And in a dry town named for a bridge that crosses four feet of nothing, something far older than the ballads has started paying attention.
A warm, sharp-witted fantasy about names, fathers, and what happens when the ground stops keeping its promises. For readers of Terry Pratchett and T. Kingfisher.
Genna Busterson
2/3날카로운 눈을 가진 젊은 측량사로, 지도와 도구, 그리고 원하지 않은 유산으로 가득 찬 배낭을 메고 다닌다. 뼛속까지 실용적인 Genna는 기적보다 측정을 믿으며, 세상이 자꾸만 그녀 주위로 휘어지자 이것이 불편해진다. 명성보다 더욱 원하는 것이 하나 있으니, 아버지의 이름이 아닌 자신의 이름으로 알려지는 것이다.
