Fresh from the curious and unsettling matter of Caroline Bingley (as related in Pride and Prescience), Mr. and Mrs. Darcy have every intention of enjoying their still newlywed status at Pemberly until they are confronted with another mysterious situation. Elizabeth Darcy and her beloved husband Fitzwilliam have taken on the responsibility of finding a suitable suitor for Elizabeth's younger sister, assuring her a proper place in society. The angels smile on the young woman as a perfect match is found. Wedding plans are soon underway until a change in personality occurs in the soon to be model husband, a change so striking as to jeopardize not just the Darcys' social standing but their lives as well. A mysterious mirror, an insidious reprobate from the past, and matters far beyond the social circles around Pemberly all come into play in a dangerous puzzle where the entry fee may indeed be a soul for a soul. Once again the Darcys take center stage as the Regency era's answer to The Thin Man's Nick and Nora, searching for truth between tea times amidst the social whirl of Jane Austen's England.
