eve_primeDragons of Pemberley, by Maria Grace. Jane Austen’s Dragon’s #10. (I skipped #9 for now; it’s a story collection). This installment in the series might have been the best yet! Elizabeth, Darcy, their baby girl, and their entourage of dragons have returned to the Pemberley estate, but an auditor has come with them to investigate some irregularities in the estate’s management of its dragons. Meanwhile, Col. Fitzwilliam and Darcy need to make progress in identifying the smugglers dealing in dragon parts who have been operating in the area.
In an earlier book, Lydia Bennet had run away with Wickham, who ended up dying, and Lydia had then been sent off to a sort of reform school for the dragon-hearing who have reached adulthood (or thereabouts) without also reaching maturity, as it were. She’s back now, all grown up, surprisingly smart, embarrassed about her earlier behavior, and eager to help. I think she might now be my favorite character in the series.
