   Clea is the child they plan. Verso is the one they nearly lose. And Alicia is the third—unplanned, unexpected, but not unwelcome.

   Or: a history of the Dessendre family in the years before the fire, starting with Renoir and Aline's marriage, through their rise to power within the Painter's Council, the birth of their children, and their eventual downfall.
