    Summary

    The girl’s shoulders hunch again. An expression is battling on her face. Guilt again, and fear, and shame. And then faintly, in the soft turn of her cheek, commiseration. She watches Gustave for a long, sad moment, and then turns to a new page in the notepad. She starts writing something, and then stops, glancing furtively at Gustave before scribbling it out. On a new line she instead writes in big bold letters:

    Maelle.

     

    OR

     

    Gustave is the local mechanic of Lumiere, an idyllic coastal village far away from the chaos and conflict of Paris. Struggling with his recent injury and the loss of a good friend, he's not quite prepared when a family moves into the abandoned Manor on the edge of town.

    He's definitely not prepared for their children.

    Summary

    In a city bright with the progress of the Belle Époque, Verso lives in the shadows, grief-stricken by the 'written' fire that claimed his sister. He pours his anguish into his piano, hiding from a secret war between those who paint substance and those who write destiny.

    As a brilliant structural engineer, Gustave believes a beam fails because of stress, not sorcery. But when he begins to notice a pattern of architectural disasters plaguing Montmartre, his need to fix the flaws inadvertently threatens a powerful faction manipulating Paris from the shadows.

    Marked for death because he refuses to accept their narrative, Gustave is pulled into Verso’s dangerous world. The pragmatist and the artist forge a partnership: Gustave provides the logic to expose the lie, while Verso finds the courage to pick up his brush and shield the man who has become his tether to the world. Together, they must dismantle a conspiracy written in stone before the ink dries on Gustave’s final chapter.
