" A figure swept down the pathway created by the rigid figures of the invading army. It was Vell, Fin’s Rise. He was Fin’s mirror image, if Fin had been shipped off to a military school at birth and then raised to have no feelings. Vell was cruel where Fin was kind, arrogant where Fin was self-conscious. "

― Carrie Ryan , Iron Tide Rising (The Map to Everywhere, #4)
