Publisher's Summary
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.

The werè version of pride and prejudice.
As many supernatural writers often proclaim, humans don't see what is before there nose, so anything supernatural is written off with some logical explanation.
So, we are now, through new eyes, seeing the story from those who can 'hear' point of view. What they 'hear' are dragons. Our favorite love match, Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy both can 'hear', as do some of the Bennett family.
The problem of stolen dragon egg is the basis for Mr Darcy venturing into Miss Bennett's domicile.
I love the narrator's vocalizations characters, especially for the Dragons.
Yes, this explains a lot, in such a way, I believe Miss Austen would have approved.

A great book but tough to narrate
This is a really fun series, the world building is clever and thoroughly done so that Dragons are not just an added quirk to spin a classic but necessary and functional.
It's a tough book to narrate because of the dragons (fairy dragons are horribly squeeky) and the weird not quite British accent (and the resulting unusual pronunciations) irked me no end but I also couldn't out it down. Persist, it's worth it.
