Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Mapmakers and the Lost Magic!"
Written by Cameron Chittock. Art and cover by Amanda Castillo.
A young girl finds herself faced with an impossible choice-run away from her beloved valley, or unleash a hidden magic and become a Mapmaker to save her home from its new overlords.
For centuries, the Mapmakers kept peace in the Valley, but they've long since disappeared. Now the Night Coats hold power with an iron grip-there are only rules, punishments, and consequences. Until one night, on the run from the Night Coats (again), after breaking another rule (again), Alidade stumbles upon a secret door leading to a magical hideaway that belongs to the Mapmakers. There, she finds a map of her home, and accidentally brings to life Blue, a magical creature called a memri who is meant to protect the Valley. Blue needs Alidade's help to find the Mapmakers and save the Valley from the Night Coats!
But the Mapmakers are long gone.
Alidade has a choice: leave the Valley like she's always wanted...or become a Mapmaker and save the only home she's ever known.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Mapmakers and the Enchanted Mountain!" Written by Cameron Chittock. Art and cover by Amanda Castillo. After saving the Valley from the Night Coats, is the newest Mapmaker ready to take the next step and save the rest of the world? Being a Mapmaker is just as adventurous and magical as Alidade thought it would be. With the help of Lewis and Blue, they're ready to restore magic to the rest of the world outside the Valley and find out what happened to the Memris, the guardians that disappeared when the Night Coats took over. When the trio comes across Cado, a young boy who brings them to his hidden Mountain village, they soon learn that not everyone is as happy to meet a Mapmaker or a Memri as they thought they would be. Things go from bad to worse when the Night Coats show up nearby, and Alidade realizes she is running out of time. Alidade is determined to prove her worth as a Mapmaker and bring balance to the Mountain . . . but at what price? Hardcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 256 pages, full color. Cover price $21.99.
