Santiago Copí

Some maps show roads. Others awaken places that were never meant to be found. When Martin discovers an impossible map hidden inside an old forgotten journal, he realizes that certain places do not wait to be explored - they wait to be remembered. Together with Claudia, Carlota, Cayetana and Laika, he is drawn into a journey where reality bends softly at the edges, silence watches too closely, and forgotten objects seem to carry memories of their own.
But the map is alive. And with every new heartbeat, something ancient begins to wake beneath the world. The First Heartbeat of the Map is a premium illustrated middle-grade fantasy adventure filled with mystery, wonder, emotional depth, hidden worlds, and atmospheric storytelling for readers who still believe that some books can change the way we see reality. Perfect for readers of magical adventures, emotional fantasy, hidden worlds, and timeless coming-of-age journeys.
