The Autobiography of a Traitor and a Half-Savage A Tor.com Original
Oona's blood is a river delta blending east and west, her hair red as Tennessee clay, her heart tangled as the wild lands she maps. By tracing rivers in ink on paper, Oona pins the land down to one reality and betrays her people. Can she escape the bonds of gold and blood and bone that tie her to the Imperial American River Company?

Autobiography of a Trailor and a Half-Savage is an alternative world story where North America is being colonised, and the process requires someone magical, often Indigenous. Map making is something that requires a special skill where a person forces the land to hold its shape. It's a fascinating way of looking at magic, but the real story is in how people are exploited by colonisation, and the terrible things some do to others. It's a heartbreaking, breathless story that is very relevant in today's political climate despite being a fantastical, historical piece.
