It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that the power of dragons establishes the dignity of a house.

Only Valeraine Longbourn believes in her house’s elderly dragon. To prove his prowess, she disguises herself and flies in the dragon derbies — deadly races that only admit men.

If Valeraine wins, the kingdom will finally respect her dragon. She’ll secure a dragon egg, saving Longbourn house. If Valeraine is discovered, she’ll ruin her family along with herself.

Once Valeraine tastes the sky, she realizes dragoneering is more than status or wealth — it’s what burns inside her.

All Mr. Pemberley cares about are his thirty-one dragons. He isn’t looking for a bride, especially not one as vexing as Valeraine.

After a horrible first impression, Valeraine wants nothing more than to out-fly Pemberley. And yet, they’re drawn to each other. As they clash, they become tangled in each other's secrets, fully known with terrible clarity.

This Pride and Prejudice fantasy retelling is closed door. It’s perfect for fans of Half a Soul and Jane Austen, with the daring adventure of Mulan and the scandal sheets of Bridgerton.
