Paris, 1847. A single forged document can ignite a revolution.
Étienne Moreau once painted for the salons of Paris. Now he wields his pen in secret, crafting false decrees and royal proclamations for Les Ombres, a shadowy revolutionary cabal. With every forged page, he tips the scales of power—sending innocents to prison and pushing France closer to collapse. But his talents come with a Étienne’s soul is already scorched by guilt, and the memory of his wife—executed unjustly by the monarchy—haunts every stroke of his quill.
When Étienne uncovers a sinister truth—that Les Ombres seeks not liberty but dominion—he finds himself caught between two corrupt regimes. His revenge turns to resistance. With one final, flawless forgery, Étienne aims to bring both the monarchy and the revolutionaries to ruin.
But revolutions do not reward subtlety. And the cost of truth may be written in blood.
Set against the opulence and unrest of 19th-century Paris, Ink and Consequences is a razor-edged tale of duplicity, art, and sacrifice—where ink may prove more dangerous than steel, and history is written by those who dare to forge it.
