Elizabeth Bennet never asked to inherit a legend. She lives with her feet on the ground, her heart tucked firmly away, and a deep suspicion of anything that calls itself destiny. But when a forgotten grove stirs at her touch and a book of mirrored script opens in her hands, the past begins to bleed into the present-and nothing feels quite real except him.
Fitzwilliam Darcy has no patience for myth. Especially not the one that stains his family name: a broken vow, a vanished Lady, and a sacred grove that once bridged the mortal world and Avalon. He has buried that shame beneath duty and silence... until a single tree on his land turns to ash, and Elizabeth Bennet begins to haunt his waking thoughts like a memory he never lived.
Drawn together by secrets older than England, bound by a promise neither of them made, Elizabeth and Darcy must decide whether love is strong enough to rewrite a fate written in thorns.
