Heartstone—An
Epic Fantasy from Elle Katharine White
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 a good blade
must be in want of a monster to slay—and Merybourne Manor has plenty of
monsters.
Passionate, headstrong Aliza Bentaine knows this all too well;
she's already lost one sister to the invading gryphons. So when Lord Merybourne
hires a band of Riders to hunt down the horde, Aliza is relieved her home will
soon be safe again.
Her relief is short-lived. 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. 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 ... something far more
sinister than gryphons.
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.
