    Summary

    Paris was divided into three districts because of tensions between writers and painters. Like your parents, you're a writer, you were born to be one, it's in your blood, in your veins, and yet you've never written anything. You don't have the inspiration that other writers have. Worse still, you don't feel like one, you don't feel at home. But maybe things will change at some point.

    Summary

    This is the continuation of my work 'A life to paint and write'🩷.

    Verso doesn't remember the exact moment when ink ceased to be his ally and became his prison.
    Able to paint with blood and create with a conscious soul, he was torn from the collapse of his world—engulfed in flames—by the Writers… By an ancient order that controls narrative, boundaries… and the so-called truth.

    He awakens confined in a cell of living ink, sealed with a mark impossible to break. But the cruelest part isn’t the imprisonment—It’s discovering that the one guarding him is Julie, his former lover and a Writer, the very one he left behind long ago, shattering her heart…

    Julie wrestles between loyalty to her kind and the still-living cracks of what she once felt for him.
    While the Writers plan to use Verso’s gift as a tool of absolute creation, he begins to realize that his painting, his bond with Lune, and his story are not yet fully written—nor finished.

    Summary

    In a Paris divided between Painters and Writers, Verso Dessendre only wants to paint in peace, far from the political fire and the echo of his mother, the legendary Aline, leader of the Painters’ Council. But the past and art are not things one can leave behind so easily.

    Between his two sisters—Alicia, his light… Clea, his fight—and a city silently cracking, Verso meets Lune, an enigmatic young woman who seems pulled from one of his dreams… Or perhaps from the banned books, since she is a Writer.

    An impossible love, a written destiny… A stroke that perhaps should never have existed.

    Summary

    "Across the fire, she watched him." On a journey to take down the Paintress, against a backdrop of shattering loss and revelations, Lune found her attention straying to the enigmatic newcomer, Verso. He was a mystery, full of charm and evasive words: an interesting contradiction. She didn't account for his own curiosity and a sparked affection - or for the devastation that could follow. A what-if addressing how the romance aspect in Expedition 33 might have had a more defining effect on the story. Lune/Verso.

    Summary

    "Are the voices inside your head still yours, Lune?"

    She cut him a withering glare, dozens of truths and memorized speeches caught in her throat. He met her gaze dead on, irises near colorless where they once held a hint of blue. He didn't look away, and neither could she.

    "Are yours?"

    ---

    Nearly three years after saving the Canvas, Lune is restless. She's uncovered every mystery, solved every problem, and reached the limit of what the world can give her. Never before has she felt the world so small. The only remaining questions all circle back to the man she refuses to see, and who has isolated himself from everyone else. But when a dangerous new Nevron threatens the city and Maelle disappears, Lune has no choice but to go to him for answers.

    Verso wants nothing more than to die. He'll settle for destroying any sliver of love between himself and those he called friend. But when Lune brings word of Maelle's disappearance and a Nevron he's never heard of, even he can't ignore the opportunity.

    Once bound by respect and something deeper, Lune and Verso have nothing but distrust and loathing between them. They'll need more than that to save Maelle from the Nevron--and herself.
