In the autumn of 1811, Miss Bennet encounters Miss Darcy in Hyde Park, and the two swiftly strike up a friendship. Acute concern for his sister's happiness moves Fitzwilliam Darcy to propose marriage to the kind young lady. Only when he arrives in Hertfordshire does he discover that he is engaged to the wrong Bennet sister. Bound by honour to another, can Darcy ever confess his love for Elizabeth? And if he does, will scandal and ruin be the only result? Fixed Stars, the first book in the Primum Mobile Duology, is a tale of thwarted longing and familial strife–but also of perseverance and triumphant love. It is a clean Pride & Prejudice retelling of 75,000 words with a happy ending for Darcy and Elizabeth.
