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.
Elle Katharine White infuses elements of Austen\'s beloved novel with her own brand of magic, crafting a modern epic fantasy that conjures a familiar yet wondrously unique new world..
It\'s a war Aliza is ill-prepared to wage, on a battlefield she\'s never known before: one spanning kingdoms, class lines, and the curious nature of her own heart. something far more sinister than gryphons. . .
Nor does she anticipate the mystery that follows them from Merybourne Manor, its roots running deep as the foundations of the kingdom itself, where something old and dreadful slumbers .
With the arrival of the haughty and handsome dragonrider, Alastair Daired, Aliza expects a battle; what she doesn\'t expect is a romantic clash of wills, pitting words and wit against the pride of an ancient house.
Her relief is short-lived.
So when Lord Merybourne hires a band of Riders to hunt down the horde, Aliza is relieved her home will soon be safe again.
Passionate, headstrong Aliza Bentaine knows this all too well; she\'s already lost one sister to the invading gryphons.
They say a Rider in possession of a good blade must be in want of a monster to slay--and Merybourne Manor has plenty of monsters.
