The Cartographer's Last Map

A famous cartographer dies, leaving behind one final map with a route marked in red. Those who follow it find places that shouldn't exist—a forest in a desert, a tower under a lake. Each location holds a fragment of the mapmaker's life and a piece of a greater treasure. Collect the fragments, dodge rival expeditions, and discover whether the treasure is gold or warning.
