A fantastic fantasy retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (The Lily Café)
War threatens England, but Elizabeth Bennet's battles are closer to home. She's managing the family estate for her ailing father. Insufferable gentlemen keep bursting in to propose marriage. And most dangerous of all, she's hiding a forbidden skill. Elizabeth can speak to draca, the small, fire-breathing dragons kept by gentry as frivolous status symbols.
When Napoleon's spies attempt to steal draca, the distant war threatens even cozy Hertfordshire. Elizabeth seeks the aid of Mr. Darcy, the proud man whose proposal she once scorned. Amid the breathtaking halls of Pemberley, she discovers the truth: she is not the first woman to speak with draca. But with her secret revealed, the dark history of Pemberley tears her and Mr. Darcy apart.
One hope remains: her dangerous affinity to draca. But does she dare to trust legends and lost songs? And when a terrible betrayal threatens the man she loves, does she have a choice?
Miss Bennet's Dragon is the first book in the award-winning Jane Austen Fantasy trilogy. For fans of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and of course Jane Austen.
