Aliza Bentaine is a witty young woman from a modest family, who holds the unfortunate position of second eldest in a house of four daughters. Her mother is on a mission to marry off Aliza and her older sister Anjey to well-connected Ridersâwarriors who are bonded with dragons. As fate would have it, an elite band of Riders are dispatched to Merybourne Manor to cull an extremely murderous band of gryphons; leading the charge are the callous and wealthy Alastair Daired and his dragon Akarra. True to his word, the haughty Alastair tames the monsters while a separate and unexpected battle rages in his heart when he trades barbs with Aliza. Unfortunately for both of them, an ancient evil still lurks in the shadows, waiting to wage what could be a final war for humankind. VERDICT White's engaging first novel is part fantasy and part Jane Austen Regency; recast from Pride and Prejudice, her plot and characters ring true to Austen's original. Janeites will enjoy this fantastical reimagining of a literary masterpiece that should also appeal to fans of Naomi Novik's "Temeraire" series.âJennifer Funk, McKendree Univ. Lib., Lebanon, IL.
