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.
