"A fantastic fantasy retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice." -The Lily Café

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a hungry firedrake is an irritating beast.

In Regency England, the small, fire-breathing dragons called draca are kept by gentry as pampered status symbols. But Elizabeth Bennet has no time to pamper the Bennets' firedrake. With an ailing father, she must manage Longbourn and dodge disastrous marriage proposals while concealing a dangerous secret: she can speak to draca.

When a beloved sister falls ill, marriage and money no longer matter. Aided by her brilliant sister Mary, Elizabeth hunts for a cure in the lost lore of dragons. Desperate, she turns to the last man on earth she wished to see again-Mr. Darcy, the haughty aristocrat whose arrogant proposal she furiously rejected.

In the gilded halls of Pemberley, Mr. Darcy harbors his own dark secrets of draca. Even as a fresh spark kindles between him and Elizabeth, those buried truths threaten to tear them apart.

And the stakes have grown higher than a dear sister's life.

Miss Bennet's Dragon is riveting, romantic historical fantasy. Read it standalone or to start the complete, award-winning Jane Austen Fantasy trilogy. For fans of Naomi Novick's Temeraire, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries.
