After the wedding bells have stopped ringing, Darcy and Elizabeth set out on their wedding tour as blissfully happy newlyweds...or so Elizabeth thought. Darcy unexpectedly decides to change the destination of their tour from the Lake District to Europe instead. Although Elizabeth is dazzled by the beauty of Parisian salons, Venician palazzos and even a medeval castle fortress hewn from the rocks of the Alps, she does not quite feel at ease.

Things take on a sinister turn at each place they visit and Darcy's behavior becomes cold and disaffectionate driving Elizabeth to believe that they made a mistake in marriage. After making a difficult decsion, Elizabeth tries to leave Darcy only to find herself beset upon by an Ancient vampyre who has been stalking her during her entire wedding tour and it is discovered that he is the source of her feeling of foreboding at every turn.

Darcy defeats the Ancient vampyre and finally reveals the truth to Elizabeth who decides that she wants to spend the rest of eternity with Darcy regardless. Things take a very different turn when Darcy discovers that he may be able to end his days as a human with Elizabeth by his side and the two journey to an Ancient petrified forest where a firey flood nearly sees their end but they make it out and Darcy finds that he is once again human.

In the end, all is well and the happy couple returns to England to begin life at Pemberley.

Characters edit see section history

  • Mrs Darcy: Es un vampiro recatado, descente, centrado y seguro de si mismo. Le apasiona la vida (de la cual carece) y ha comprendido que puede pertenecer a la vida de personas sin hacerles daño, defiende sus intereses sin importar quien se interponga entre ellos y trata de disfrutar cada instante que comparte con los demás.
  • Elizabeth Darcy: Witty and handsome. Intuitive to the dark and sinister surroundings she finds herself in. She is the picture of a bride and is treated as such by all who meet her on her wedding tour but she is not entirely happy. She is plagued with nightmares and waking visions of past ordeals. She is seen to have extrodinary stamina and resolve.
  • Annie: Maid to Elizabeth Darcy. She is the constant companion yet she is not a confidante. In the end, Annie is the one who attempts to alert Elizabeth that there may be something going on that is not quite right.
  • Jane Bingley: Elizabeth's sister and confidante. In this book she is merely the name attached to the letters that Elizabeth writes in order to make sense of her surroundings and ill feelings.
  • Sophia: A 500 year old Venitian vampyre who is the first character to make a slip in front of Elizabeth. She and her brother decide to have a masked ball in the style of the thirteenth century in honor of Elizabeth. Sophia takes Elizabeth to her personal closet to select a costume from her collection of clothes and mistakenly tells her that a particular dress was worn when she (Sophia) was introduced to Marco Polo.
  • Lady Catherine: The maker of both Darcy and his sister Georgianna. Rather than being the prideful and condecsending elitist from the original novel, Lady Catherine rather stays out of the novel until the final chapters where she and her daughter, Anne, arrive too late to let Darcy and Elizabeth know that an Ancient vampyre is out for Elizabeth's blood. Lady Catherine is surprised that Elizabeth knows of Darcy's true self and is further surprised that Elizabeth has accepted it.

Quotes edit see section history

  • “"Do you never dispose of gowns in your family?' asked Elizabeth, amazed at how many there were. 'In my family,' Sophia said pensively. 'No. They remind us of other times, other balls, other lives, other loves. And that is what we live for, is it not, to love? You, who are s o newly married, know that is true. See, this dress, it is the one I wore when I met Marco Polo.' 'When you met Marco Polo?' asked Elizabeth in amusement. 'That would make you 500 years old!' Sophia's hands stilled on the fabric of the dress. She said, 'You are laughing. Then Darcy has not told you?"”
  • Popular Highlights from Kindle Customers
  • Elizabeth realised that that was why she felt uncomfortable: because the whole salon, from the people to the clothes to the furniture, was the result of artifice, a carefully arranged surface which shone like the sea on a summer’s day but disguised whatever
