A fantastic adventure

In 1799, each continent is plunged into different time periods, causing the creation of a new world completely turned upside down.

A writer-historian

From the first pages of the novel, the writer S.E. GROVE plunges us into a unique universe. She manages to mix adventure, travel, friendship, time jumping and even pirates in a single writing. At the moment, the author has only written 3 books which is neither more nor less than the trilogy The Cartographers.

More than a simple map

In this novel, the maps are the element most appreciated by the readers because you will not see them anywhere else. Some are made of glass, steel, earth, ... and each has different functions. One can show places. Another can show smells, sensations, feelings, ... all at different times. It is even possible to assemble several cards to combine their functions.

A timeless traveler

S.E. GROVE has the advantage of being able to write these novels because of her background. This historian has traveled a lot. Especially in Latin America and the United States. On top of that, she lives in the Boston area. So one might wonder if her books are autobiographical. But unfortunately so much fantasy and magic does not exist in our world.
