The Earl and the Artificer — Kara Jorgensen

What mysteries lay buried beneath weeds and dust? Following their wedding, Eilian and Hadley Sorrell journey to Brasshurst Hall, his family's abandoned ancestral home. As Eilian struggles to reconcile his new roles as husband and earl, he finds the house and the surrounding town of Folkesbury are not as they first appear. Behind a mask of good manners and gentle breeding lurks a darker side of Folkesbury. As the Sorrells struggle to fit in with the village's genteel society, they find their new friends are at the mercy of Randall Nash, a man who collects secrets. Soon, Eilian and Hadley become entangled in a web of murder, theft, and intrigue that they may never escape, with the manor at the heart of it all. Something long thought lost and buried within Brasshurst's history has been found -- something worth killing for.
