At fifteen, Elizabeth Bennet chose freedom over family expectations and forged a life entirely her own. Independent, skilled in archery, and hiding a secret identity known to only a few, she has no desire to be the submissive woman that the world expects her to be.
When she attends a meeting arranged for her sister Jane and the wealthy Charles Bingley, Elizabeth instead encounters the proud and reserved Fitzwilliam Darcy. Unaware of his true identity, she is offended by his contempt for her rank and circumstances and dismisses him as an arrogant stranger.
Fate brings them together again in Ramsgate, where Elizabeth befriends Darcy’s beloved sister, Georgiana. As Darcy comes to know the bold, unconventional young woman behind the first impression, he finds himself falling deeply in love. But Elizabeth’s hidden past, her carefully guarded secrets, and the prejudices that first divided them may prove far more difficult to overcome.
A captivating Pride and Prejudice variation about independence, identity, and the courage to choose one’s own path.
