The Magic of Pemberley is here!
The Magic of Pemberley is finally here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Since this is the second book of the Fitzwilliam Darcy, Mage series, you’ll finally get some answers to the questions raised in Spellbound at Pemberley. And I can’t wait to see what you think!
You can order the book at Amazon in either ebook or paperback, and yes, there will be an audiobook with the fabulous team of Harry Frost and Elizabeth Klett in several months. And I’m giving away two free copies today to celebrate!
So, what’s The Magic of Pemberley about? Here’s the blurb:
When Napoleon and his fire-breathing dragons menace all of Europe, Mr. Darcy and his mage powers are England’s last hope.
Danger awaits in France, where Darcy must complete his mission for England while fighting to return to his beloved Elizabeth. But when he finally comes face to face with Napoleon, Darcy discovers the tyrant’s dark secret – one that threatens the survival of England and everyone Darcy loves. Now he is on the run, trapped behind enemy lines with no hope of escape.
Back at Pemberley, Elizabeth discovers Darcy’s grave danger through their entwined magic. Accompanied by her trusted dragon, she sets forth on her own perilous journey to bring him home. But finding him is only the beginning, and Darcy and Elizabeth must work together to face magical traps and a relentless manhunt. As their love and magic are put to the ultimate test, will they be able to overcome the obstacles and save England from certain doom?
Fans of gaslamp fantasy, heartfelt romance, and Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice will be swept away by the heart-pounding adventure and deep love in The Magic of Pemberley.

My amazing beta readers have been very enthusiastic about this book, including what one describes as “the very satisfying ending!” But just to be clear, this is the second book of the trilogy, so there is a third part yet to come. I’m hoping to release The Guardians of Pemberley in April 2025, though I’ve listed it for September 2025 because Amazon will let you move a pre-order earlier (as I did for The Magic of Pemberley), but not later. I’ve already written over a third of Book 3, so I might manage it even earlier than April, but Darcy has been making some noise about going off on a side quest with his beloved Elizabeth, and I know better than to think I can talk that stubborn man out of anything!

I’ve been rereading Spellbound in anticipation of this coming out! What I love about magical P&P variations is that the magic is usually the source of the problems between the couple, not the solution to them. These are not simplistic abracadabra happily-ever-after books.
I love magical stories when Darcy and Elizabeth have to work together causing them to realise their love for each other. All others (such as Caroline Bingley and Wickham etc) are definitely excluded or eliminated? I’m really happy to know that only Elizabeth can rescue Darcy in this book ……. and that she succeeds! Thank you.
Hi! I’ve been reading a lot of Magical P&P variations because of the fantasies and the magic about, the construction of a new world but the one that Jane built or described is amazing. I like very much that we already know the regency world but now we have many new things with thousands of possibilities. Adding to that, have a Darcy with magic!!! OMG swoon!
I have not read book 1 yet. I need to be able to read all 3 together. But then I will have a fantastic reading fest!
I’ve been enjoying the magic, dragon, and fantasy JAFFs, because they add new lore to a story that I know very well.
I love how the magical aspect adds another dimension to the characters and deepens the mystery of the plot puzzle!!
The first book I ever read that was a P&P variation was your book “What would Mr. Darcy do?” I’ve been hooked ever since and love all these variations. Adding a magical touch to the story makes it even better to expand the imagination!
Let’s be real there are a million pride and Prejudice variations and I have read many of them and love alot of them. so the great thing about these books where magic comes into play is they are not cookie cutter its fantasy and fantasy can go wherever you want to take it. Abigail is one of my favorite authors and I love the liberties she takes with our favorite couple. I can’t wait for more!
I am really exited to read the new book, but I am trying to wait for the audio…
I always love your books, magical Darcy is always a thrill, just adding an extra dimension to him!
I love putting JAFF in a fantasy context because I love seeing how the outcome can still be the same, but an object, a power, a creature is the reason for it (for an example, someone or something persuading Anne to break things off with Wentworth)
