   Summary

   Verso tells himself that getting close to the group is a means to an end. He'll be the worst of villains if it gets his mother out of this canvas. But he doesn't expect the expedition to sink real hooks into him--Maelle especially. A bad decision starts a spiral of events that take the characters places they never expected to go, and Verso realizes his heart may not be caged as tightly as he believed.
