Pastiche
Set mostly in 1906, Pastiche is the tale of how Alysoun Edgarton and Richard Edgarton moved from arranged marriage to a love match.
Richard and Alysoun have done everything asked of them. Richard has built a solid career as a member of the Guard, while Alysoun tends to the family estate at Veritas and their two children, Gabriel Edgarton and Charlotte Edgarton. However, they have no idea how to be together in private.
When Alysoun spots something odd at a new exhibit at The Albion Museum and asks for Richard's help, it changes their lives and marriage forever.
