    Summary

    Returning from their bridal tour, Elizabeth steps into Pemberley for the first time as its Mistress. Amidst the manor’s winter stillness, the warmth of the servants' welcome rises to meet her burgeoning sense of duty. Along an avenue steeped in memory, the resurfacing of a long-forgotten childhood name awakens a tender, private intimacy shared only between husband and wife.

    But the winter of 1813 brings the harshest frost in English history. As a record-breaking freeze grips the land, the newly-wedded Darcys must face their first trial: an unexpected separation. In a world turned white and silent, will the warmth of their new bond endure the bitterest of winters?
