Some houses need a fresh coat of paint. This one needs a warded sledgehammer, a localized exorcism, and a highly aggressive zoning permit.
Rosalind Vance is the best arcane structural engineer in the city of Oakhaven. She specializes in the dirty, dangerous, blue-collar side of magic: stabilizing failing load-bearing walls, mitigating kinetic shear lines, and neutralizing class-four necrotic parasites. She does not run from broken things. She fixes them.
But Ravenswood Manor is not just a condemned Gothic nightmare. It is a highly sentient, territorial fortress.
Hired by a desperate bank to halt a municipal demolition, Rosalind expects a standard triage job. Instead, she finds a century-old blood lock and Roderick Ravenswood: the brilliant, insufferably arrogant original architect of the estate. Betrayed by his own guild and bound to the foundation of his home, Roderick has spent a hundred years as a terrifying, disembodied force of architecture.
When Rosalind accidentally breaks his curse and returns him to a physical body, she realizes the true problem has only just begun.
A multi-national magical corporation wants the raw, highly volatile ley line buried beneath the property. They have legions of lawyers, heavy arcane artillery, and a complete disregard for the local building codes.
To save the estate and Roderick's life, this unlikely duo must forge a brutal, high-stakes partnership. They have to combine modern industrial steel with ancient geomancy to build an impenetrable fortress. And they have to do it before the corporate strike teams turn them both to ash.
Grab your hardhat. The renovations are about to get explosive.
Blueprints and Brimstone is a slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine urban fantasy romance featuring a highly competent heroine, a magically bound aristocrat, and explosive magical mechanics. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews and Patricia Briggs.
