In the canal city of Veyr, streets do not merely disappear. They are declared never to have existed?and the people who lived on them begin to vanish from every record that could prove they belong.
Leora Nym has spent eleven months tracing the disappearance of her mentor through maps that refuse to hold still. Corin Ash, the city officer assigned to contain the panic, needs proof before he can defy the Assembly that benefits from forgetting. Together they find a missing ward beneath the Old Mint, where every restoration demands a witness willing to bear the cost of remembering.
As white erasure moves through Veyr's districts, Leora and Corin must choose between a private map that can save one person and a public covenant that may save a city. Their growing trust is dangerous in a place where affection can become evidence?and where every recovered street brings back the harm someone worked to hide.
The Witnesses of Veyr is an adult gothic fantasy romance about public memory, impossible maps, and the courage to build a future no one can own alone.
