When Napoleon and his fire-breathing dragons menace all of Europe, Mr. Darcy and his mage powers are England's last hope in the second book of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Mage.

Danger awaits in France, where Darcy must complete his mission for England while fighting to return to his beloved Elizabeth. But when he finally comes face to face with Napoleon, Darcy discovers the tyrant's dark secret—one that threatens the survival of England and everyone Darcy loves. Now, he is on the run, trapped behind enemy lines with no hope of escape.

Back at Pemberley, Elizabeth discovers Darcy's grave danger through their entwined magic. Accompanied by her trusted dragon, she sets forth on her own perilous journey to bring him home. But finding him is only the beginning, and Darcy and Elizabeth must work together to face magical traps and a relentless manhunt. As their love and magic are put to the ultimate test, will they be able to overcome the obstacles and save England from certain doom?

Pride and Prejudice with Magic, Dragons, evil Fae and a secret Mission in the heart of France

This began right where the huge cliffhanger of book one ended. So much happens in this book. Many secrets are revealed. Layer upon layer kept adding to the heart of the story. In the first section there are arguments and misunderstandings. Darcy is still trying to perfect the spellcasting he needs for his mission in France. Elizabeth is trying to understand her duties and bond with the land and people of Pemberley. Neither goes smoothly. But the couple’s love strengthens into an unbreakable bond through this.
There’s action and suspense galore when Darcy leaves for his mission in France. Lots of changes and revelations are happening around Pemberley at the same time. Happily though this book didn’t leave readers dangling off the cliff’s edge like the first. Much is resolved, even more hinted at. I can’t wait for the final confrontation in book 3.
Harry Frost and Elizabeth Klett both did a spectacular job narrating, with the transitions between their sections smooth.

Keeps one on the edge of your seat

To fully grasp and enjoy this book, you need to read/listen to book one. If you have done that, you will enjoy returning to this world of hidden dragons and land magic. Darcy and Elizabeth continue to struggle with learning to trust one another and the secrets they have even as their love for each other grows. Darcy’s mission continues to loom in the midst of their relationship. More mysteries and secrets are revealed but the question is how will this affect Darcy‘s mission, their trust and love, and their unborn child. Darcy does some serious soul-searching and growth in his time away from home. Many things will keep you on the edge of your seat and beg for book 3. Thankfully we are not left with too many cliffhangers and feel satisfied at the end.

I also got the audiobook when it came out. That made this story even better! Elizabeth Klett and Harry Frost partnered up beautifully to bring even more life and emotion to this book. This will be a series I will gladly read and listen to again!
