About this title

Synopsis

The parchment was warm when Elias Rowan lifted it out of the box. Not warm from the sun. Warm like breath.

His master left him one item when he died. No title, no markings, one word pressed into the black wax: ROWAN.

He unfolds it on his desk, and in the failing light a silver line begins to draw itself across the empty page.

It points north, into the one forest his master forbade him to enter.

Maps do not finish themselves. This one has been trying for four hundred years.

Every line it adds opens a road further into Aelyndor, a kingdom that deleted its own existence rather than let out the thing living underneath it. There the ground judges what you mean rather than where you step, and twelve ancient seals stand between the world and a hunger that eats whatever is forgotten.

Elias is not the first to carry the map. He is not even the first version of himself to carry it. And something beneath the realm has started calling him by a name nobody ever gave him.

Lyra Vance can hear the roads think. She walked out of a family that believed in maps you were not allowed to change, and she will not say the name she was born with. She agrees to guide him for one journey. Neither of them expects the journey to keep asking them who they are.

Because the seals do not want blood. Each one wants a truth. Your name. Your beginning. What you believe you are. What you have never once let yourself feel. And Elias, who has lived his whole life with a hole where his childhood should be, has fewer answers than the world is about to require.

Somewhere in the years he cannot remember, a small boy asked a question the world could not survive being asked.

They took his name for it. His origin. His place on every map that has ever existed. They let him grow up unmapped and unanchored in the outer world, and they told themselves the door was shut.

It was not shut. It was only quiet.

Elias Rowan is the only person alive who can close that door.

He is also the door.

Some paths are drawn before we walk them.
Others we choose.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
