About this listen
Baby dragon debutantes. Territory challenges. Dragon battles. When will the chaos end?
Dragon Sage Elizabeth Darcy longs for life to return to normal, at least as normal as it could be for a Blue Order officer who lives with more household dragons than most small villages. Having two sisters and an infant dragon to present as debutantes to the Order makes "normal" difficult. The fine ladies - she-dragons one and all - of the Cotillion Board make it impossible.
Sir Fitzwilliam Darcy, knight of the Pendragon Order, never envisioned his oath to "protect and serve the interests of the Blue Order and dragonkind" would demand immediate action. But only a Keeper can defend Pemberley’s territory against threats far too big for a baby dragon to manage. Threats against the Pendragon Accords themselves. And only the one closest to the Dragon Sage can protect her from the sinister forces menacing the Order, possibly from within its own ranks.
Can Darcy and Elizabeth ensure the Cotillion strengthens the Order rather than laying the groundwork for its demise?
Meryton meets Pern in a fantastical regency romp bound to delight listeners of Jane Austen and Anne McCaffrey alike. Book eight of Jane Austen's Dragons.

Intrigue, suspense & the loyalty of friends
Set in a Regency England with a large population of dragons.
This is book eight of Maria Grace’s Jane Austen’s Dragons series and follows directly on from book seven Dragons Beyond the Pale.
If you choose to read the entire series, the order should be; book four, A Proper Introduction to Dragons, then books one, two, three, five, six and seven.
Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy are senior officers of the Blue Order.
Sir Fitzwilliam Darcy, knight of the Pendragon Order, has sworn to “protect and serve the interests of the Blue Order and dragonkind”.
Elizabeth is the Dragon Sage, respected by dragons and keepers for her skills and insight into dragon health, culture and psychology.
In book seven, Elizabeth was kidnapped and although safely recovered, life is not back to normal. The threat to her still remains. Traitors in the Blue Order are still at large.
Infant dragon, Pemberley is to be introduced to Blue Order Society at the Dragon Keepers' Cotillion, together with some of Elizabeth’s family and friends.
Unfortunately, the Cotillion board seems to contain the worst examples of Regency Society and they don’t like Elizabeth.
At the same time, a major threat is made against Pemberley’s territory. Darcy, as her keeper, faces the prospect of battling several adult dragons, as Pemberley is perceived as too young to fight for herself.
This latest chapter in the series combines intrigue, suspense and the power of loyal friends in overcoming adversity. I would recommend it to all fans of JAFF and fantasy.
This whole series is narrated by Benjamin Fife. His narration is very good, his voice warm and pleasing to listen to. His female voices are convincing and his dragon voices are excellent.
I look forward to more from Maria Grace.

Delightful.
Another great book in this series: lots of intrigue and excitement, vivid world building, and of course the Cotillion. The dragons are delightful, as always, and the story is suspenseful, entertaining and enjoyable.
Benjamin Fife does a great job narrating this book.

More unanswered questions than usual in this book
(3 and 1/2 stars) The interactions between dragons and humans were as magical as ever, and the action scenes were captivating. While I did enjoy listening to this book, I was disappointed that so many plot threads hadn’t been resolved by the end – including two from the previous book. And without giving too much away, a plot thread introduced in this book, which I thought quite a major one, seemed to be forgotten about for several chapters, and then it was only vaguely referenced nearer the end of the book but still not explored further or resolved. Benjamin Fife’s portrayal of the voices (dragon and human) was engaging as always.
