(2) YA In the island kingdom of St. John del Mar, rebellious mapmaker's son Elias is summoned by the king to look into two maps' origins, which may provide answers about the king's long-missing brothers. Eerie supernaturalism and dreadful disease both play roles, and Elias's initial defiance is contrasted neatly with companion (and love interest) Mercedes's battered reserve. Deftly employing suspense, this original fantasy drops hints with masterful precision.
