Summary:
A debut historical fantasy that recasts Jane Austen’s beloved Pride & Prejudice in an imaginative world of wyverns, dragons, and the warriors who fight alongside them against the monsters that threaten the kingdom: gryphons, direwolves, lamias, banshees, and lindworms.
They say a Rider in possession of an excellent blade must be in want of the monster to slay and Merybourne Manor has plenty of monsters.
Passionate, headstrong Aliza Bentaine does know this every too very well; she’s already dropped one about Heartstone sister to the invading gryphons. Therefore when Lord Merybourne hires a band of Riders to hunt down the horde, Aliza is definitely relieved her house will be safe again.
Her comfort is short-lived. Using the arrival of the haughty and handsome dragonrider, Alastair Daired, Aliza needs a fight; what she doesn’t expect is an enchanting clash of wills, pitting words and wit against the pride of an ancient house. Nor does she anticipate the mystery that follows them from Merybourne Manor, its root base working deep as the foundations from the kingdom itself, where something old and dreadful slumbers . something a lot more sinister than gryphons.
It’s a war Aliza is ill-prepared to wage, on the battlefield she’s never known before: a single spanning kingdoms, course lines, and the curious nature of her own center.
Elle Katharine Light infuses elements of Austen’s beloved book with her own brand of magic, crafting today’s epic illusion that conjures a familiar yet wondrously exclusive new world.
