Norton was once the golden heir to a legacy of silk and silver. That changed when the Thorne Hall was taken down by pyro, leaving him with nothing but a ‘beast’s’ mask. This caused the polite society of his youth to reject him in horror. Now he is but a hermit in his inheritance. Mother’s pull their children closer to their side when his carriage passes and the superstitious place iron nails at their doorsteps to ward off his ‘bad luck’. Landlord of ruins as the locals love to refer to him.

2. A candle lit dinner weeks after the wedding.

While I hadn’t read the book you mentioned, I tried to do some research a little bit while also mixing with the characters I already knew. And thank you very much for your feedback, it’s so sweet <3 Historical fiction will always be present on this account.
