England is overrun by dragons of all shapes and sizes. Most people are blissfully unaware of them and the Pendragon Treaty that keeps the peace between human and dragon kind. Only those born with preternatural hearing, like Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet are able to hear and converse with dragonkind.

When the first firedrake egg laid in a century is stolen from Pemberley, the fragile dragon peace teeters on collapse. Darcy has no choice but to chase down the thief, a journey that leads him to quaint market town of Meryton and fellow Dragon Keeper, Elizabeth Bennet.

Elizabeth shares a unique bond with dragons, stronger than anything Darcy has ever experienced. More than that, her vast experience and knowledge of dragon lore may be the key to uncovering the lost egg. But Elizabeth can’t stand Darcy’s arrogance and doesn’t trust him to care properly for a precious baby firedrake. After all, he already lost the egg once. What’s to prevent it from happening again?

Can he win her trust and recover the stolen egg before it hatches and sends England spiraling back into the Dark Ages of Dragon War?

Jane Austen meets Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern. A must-listen for Pern fans.

This is a wonderful tale of dragons and their Keepers. As Mr. Darcy works hard to find his stolen dragon, another dragon Keeper must work hard to save her family's estate. Great world building. The characters are well described and the story flows smoothly. A wonderful adventure and a fantastic escape from the real world. The narration was wonderfully done and brought further life to the story.

Lovely tale about dragons

great take on fantasy with a good plot, only slightly let down by an unsatisfying ending that i the writer intends to solve in future books.
the setting and ideas are well thought through and feel real enough for the story to not be too farfetched.

the narrator keeps a perfect pace throughout with no unnecessary pauses and great voices to separate characters without it being too overplayed except some kid voices at the very start of the book.

overall a great listen which leaves me looking forward to the next installment.

good listen, both well narrated and interesting

I really enjoy this. The voice is clear and not grating to listen to with emotion behind the words.

A great twist on a classic novel.

This book has such an interesting little twist in the re-writing of the classic novel people have talked about for ages. The illustration of the book is so cute and should help you know about the dragons in the book (as well as the title). Although the title on audible and the one on goodreads are vastly different, they both look nice, I would have liked the one on goodreads better if you could see more of the dragon.

The narrator did such a great job. He does so many different pitches of voices for the different characters

The way this book ends is in a cliff-hangar style (although you know there was going to be more)

I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving am honest review.

Cute re-written book

*I was given a free copy of this book in audiobook version at my request in exchange for an honest review*
I know what are you thinking, Jane Austen and dragons??
But that was the exact reason why Requested the book...
What would happen if the main characters of Pride & Prejudice were members of some sort of secret society who takes care of dragons?
The similarities with the original novel are few and far between, and at certain point I didn't know if I was going to like it. But the story develops little by little and you grow fond of this characters, especially the dragons, and yes you want to know what happens next.
No cliffhanger which is always a bonus!

Enjoyed it!
