Dragons of the Great Wyves

by M. Verant

🥛clean·spoiler·Jane Austen Fantasy #3

Why Read This?

A brilliant mashup of Austen social commentary and epic dragon fantasy. Three pairs of lovers, the Napoleonic Wars, and fire-breathing draca. Mary Bennet finally gets her moment as the bookworm who saves everyone through the power of music. Sharp, funny, and more feminist than you expect.

Synopsis

The spectacular, romantic conclusion to an award-winning trilogy of dragons and Jane Austen. Londoners whisper that Mary Bennet is a great wyfe able to command fire-breathing draca. Mary knows better; she’s just a bookworm with lank hair. But she hopes to save a great wyfe—her sister Elizabeth, the great wyfe of war, who vanished into the depths of Pemberley lake with her blinded scarlet dragon. But when Mary encounters la Demoiselle des Parfums , Napoleon’s lethal lieutenant, her quest becomes a race. The lost artifact of music is the key. It might save Elizabeth. It might even heal the broken dragon song spreading blight across England. Three great wyves. Three artifacts, edged, chained, and hollow. Three pairs of lovers. Emma and Mr. Knightley brave the dangers of occupied Surrey. Mary and Georgiana swirl in magical music and the odd disastrous experiment. And Mr. Darcy soldiers on, loyal to his missing soulmate, Elizabeth. But Mary’s quest to save her sister risks unleashing a force that has destroyed entire civilizations. And her only defense is song… Dragons of the Great Wyves is the final book in the award-winning Jane Austen Fantasy trilogy. For fans of Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries , Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell , and of course Jane Austen.
