    Summary

    Remember this - your name is Verso. You are at least 50 years old. To get your age, subtract the number on the monolith from 100 and add 33. You don’t look old. You’re immortal. You are not real.

    Your mother is Aline Dessendre. She is the Paintress. She made you to replace her real son. This is important- you are not real. Your sister is Alicia. Your father is Renoir. You had another sister, but she’s missing. Her name is Clea. None of you are real.

    Your mother is trapped at the top of the Monolith by her husband, the real Renoir. Every year she gets weaker and he erases more people. The people of this canvas call it the Gommage. You will not Gommage.

    Your mother is dying because she’s been here too long. The only way to save your mother is to make her leave the canvas. The only way to do that is to kill her. You need to work with an Expedition to get through the barrier and kill her.

    You won’t remember any of this. Keep this journal close, and read it when you forget again. Every time you die you’ll forget more.

    Summary

    “So we got an anonymous report, about some family in the 16ème. You never know, with those, it’s either someone’s ex-spouse wasting our time or the worst shit you ever saw.”

    Emma pours herself a glass and immediately takes a swig. Her face looks hollow in the dimming light of March.

    “It was the second one,” she continues, pressing hard fingers onto the bridge of her nose. “I get to this huge fucking manor, and this lady opens the door, looking down on me like I’m dirt on the bottom of her shoe, right? Refusing to let me in, telling me nothing in there is my business, the works. You know it’s bad when they won’t let you in.”

    In which Emma is a social worker, Gustave is a teacher and Alicia learns to live.

    Summary

    “Mark me,” Verso demanded against Gustave’s mouth. “I want to feel it tomorrow.”
    Gustave’s eyes flashed. Then his mouth was on Verso’s throat, teeth scraping, biting, and the sharp pain made Verso gasp.
    Gustave’s nails raked down Verso’s back, scratching hard enough to draw blood. Marking him, like he wanted . Claiming him.
    And Verso loved the violence. Loved the proof that this was real, that Gustave wanted him enough to leave marks.

    The Fracture Zone is where people are sent to die.
    Painters and Writers, enemies for five hundred years, embark on expeditions to reach the Monolith. None survive—until Expedition 33.
    Gustave Virlogeux has lost almost everything, and his grief has turned to rage.
    Verso Dessendre is already dead inside. The perfect weapon, buried so deep under control he can't remember what feeling looks like.
    They've been circling each other for years: enemies on the battlefield, strangers in the dark.
    Until one desperate choice binds them in forbidden magic, and suddenly they can't hide anymore.
    They'll learn that some connections are stronger than hatred, and that some enemies were never meant to be enemies at all.
