Here, There Be Dragons by James A. Owen

A shy young man is drawn into a secret society that guards the Imaginarium Geographica, an enchanted atlas of all imagined lands; as he learns that stories and imagination have real power, he must help protect the map from a rising darkness that summons nightmares and seeks to unmake fictional worlds, encountering dragons, legendary figures, and surprising allies along the way.
