The Artificer’s Chronicles 3 (The Secret Class, #3)

After surviving the disaster in Brayden’s Woods, Renan is left with lingering headaches, stolen fragments of forbidden knowledge, and a single burning question: what was the Wonder Engine of Lightspire?

Then an invitation arrives.

Lord Darrin Vale, eccentric noble, collector of pre-Calamity relics, and owner of the isolated Graypeak Manor, requests the presence of the realm’s only known Artificer. For Ren, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. Vale’s collection may hold the answers he has been searching for: the truth behind his mysterious Class, the fate of the lost city of Lightspire, and the secrets hidden since the Cataclysm.

But before the evening is over, uninvited guests arrive carrying a strange artifact no one can identify. Moments later, the manor descends into chaos.

Artifacts begin disappearing. Guests begin dying. And a brutal snowstorm seals every door and road leading out of Graypeak Manor.

Trapped inside with a killer, Ren must use every skill at his disposal. Because somewhere in the manor lies a secret worth killing for, and the mysterious artifact may be connected to the Wonder Engine itself.

As bodies pile up and suspicion falls on everyone, Ren faces his most dangerous challenge yet: solve the mystery before the next victim is him or Yana.
