In an alternate Regency
era, England is in a war with France and losing. In order to project England, Elizabeth Bennet
is plucked from her family at their country estate at Longbourn and brought to
the Guild Hall in London. Once there she
is expected to marry and bond with the powerful Royal Mage, Fitzwilliam Darcy. She has always hoped to marry for love and is
unhappy over this forced union. Will
Darcy and Elizabeth fall in love? Will they be able to bond and protect England?
I also loved the reimaging
of some of the side characters, in particular Caroline Bingley. I thought it was interesting that the book
focused on “bloodlines” and how many people were obsessed on being of noble pure
blood in order to be the best Mage. It
seems like Mr. Darcy would think along these lines, but he is friends with the Bingleys. I liked this and how Elizabeth in turn defies
everyone’s expectations of her.
Overall, Dangerous Magic
is a fun magical reimagining of Pride and Prejudice. I loved the story and the characters!
