Jane Austen's Dragons

Pemberley: Mr. Darcy's Dragon by Maria Grace reimagines Regency England as a realm quietly shared with dragons, governed by an old treaty few humans even know exists. Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, both gifted with the rare ability to hear dragon speech, are drawn together when a priceless firedrake egg is stolen from Pemberley, threatening to shatter the uneasy peace between species. As Darcy tracks the thief to Meryton, he must rely on Elizabeth’s deeper bond with dragonkind and her command of dragon lore, even as her mistrust of his judgment complicates their uneasy alliance. The novel blends historical detail, slow-building romance, political tension, and magical creatures into a story where recovering one egg may decide the fate of England.

In Longbourn: Dragon Entail, Maria Grace continues her Regency-era fantasy in which dragons shape inheritance, duty, and affection. Fitzwilliam Darcy struggles to raise the newly hatched dragon Pemberley, whose survival is threatened when his domineering Aunt Catherine interferes, forcing him to seek further guidance from Elizabeth Bennet.

Accustomed to the affection of dragons, Elizabeth instead faces open hostility from this creature and must rely on intuition rather than established lore to win its trust before the Order resorts to force. As Darcy investigates the hidden influence poisoning the dragon against her, both uncover a closer, more personal source of manipulation that tests their fragile new alliance amid political intrigue, looming conflict, and evolving romance.

A Proper Introduction to Dragons by Maria Grace blends Regency-era domestic life with a hidden world of dragons and fragile political accords.

When she uncovers a clutch of abandoned fairy dragon eggs, Bennet must protect the hatchlings, placate a possessive estate dragon, and avoid violating the Pendragon Treaty that prevents war between humans and dragons. The novel follows both father and daughter as they navigate magic, social expectations, and rising tensions in a society ill-prepared for a girl with such dangerous gifts.

In Kellynch: Dragon Persuasion, Maria Grace sets a second-chance romance amid Regency-era dragon politics and looming war.

Miss Georgiana and the Dragon by Maria Grace follows Georgiana, exiled from her brother’s household to Mrs. Fieldings’ School for the Improvement of Young Ladies, a place where dragon tutors are as common as human instructors.

Her assignment to a dragon partner, meant to speed her departure, instead entangles her in dangerous magical complications that transform school life into something closer to a gothic ordeal.
