Part of the Mysterious Arts series:

Jeremy has a house.

To be precise, Jeremy has unexpectedly inherited a large country house in a remote area of Norfolk. Jeremy knows how to manage accounts, thanks to his work at Albion’s Ministry. But he has no idea what to do with an estate, how to talk to the staff, or how to keep everything working for another generation. And he certainly doesn’t know anything about tapestries, and he’s inherited those as well.

Eda has a good life.

She’s built up her weaving workshop from scratch, and it’s now overflowing with apprentices, commissions, and looms. Widowed during the Great War, she’s happy with her comfortable kitchen, colleagues in and out at all hours, and a range of people asking for her expertise.

When Jeremy asks her to come evaluate a set of tapestries, she’s glad enough to do so. It won’t even be a problem to do an initial set of repairs, to better judge how long tending the set of ten tapestries might take. Once she’s in Norfolk, however, she and Jeremy keep stumbling over other mysteries.

Weaving Hope is the fifth book in the Mysterious Arts series exploring the arts in Albion in the 1920s. It can be read in any order. Come enjoy the pleasures of weaving, ancient family secrets, and a beautiful garden with elusive gardeners.

Content

Nothing too horrible can happen in a fortnight. Charlotte is worried. Her friend Victor - the man everyone expects she’ll marry - has fallen in with a new circle. Growing up in the family she has, Charlotte knows there’s something odd going on. The new friends are older, united in a passion for ancient legends, and there’s something just a bit too intense about all of them. When Charlotte and Victor are invited for a fortnight at a remote country house with the rest of the group, she goes along to keep him out of trouble. It’s hard to get by as a working alchemist. Lewis hopes his arrangement with Morgen will let Lewis keep his brother in a much-needed potion and begin to build up his own business as an alchemical perfumer. He doesn’t mind being stuck in an isolated cottage on a rural estate while he does it. But when Charlotte appears in his kitchen - an impossible idea - they have to figure out what’s going on at the main house and how to stop it without causing more problems. All they have to work with are the skills they already have and whatever is stocked in the alchemy lab. Perfect Accord takes place in the magical community of Great Britain in 1923, as Charlotte is preparing for her older brother Gabe’s wedding. Third in the Mysterious Arts series, it can be read in any order. Join Charlotte and Lewis for a short tour through mangled Arthuriana, a long stint of forced proximity, and a sensual romance full of perfume, cooking, and time in bed.
