The Scarlet Mist (Vol. 3 Mapmakers)

The Scarlet Mist is the electrifying final act in the acclaimed Mapmakers series—three unforgettable books set in a world unlike any other.

August 1892. Sophia Tims is returning from a foreign era, having risked her life searching for her missing parents. Now she's aboard a ship, with a hard-earned, enigmatic map that could help her finally find them.

While Sophia tries to decide her next move, Shadrack must deal with government intrigue, and Theo prepares to fight. The scarlet fog of war is thickening, and the future of New West hangs in the balance...
