Bare

Florence Bessette's newborn daughter arrives without a single silver marking — a catastrophe in the city of Laurivelle, where luminous skin-marks determine everything from social rank to which streets you may walk. When her mother-in-law appears with a tattooing needle and a vial of counterfeit silver, Florence refuses, igniting a family rupture that will expose a secret stretching back centuries. Caught between protecting her child and dismantling the lie that built an empire, Florence must choose: preserve a beautiful deception, or strip it bare.
