Master of Puppets: A Pride and Prejudice variation
Elin Eriksen

Seven gentlemen and twelve ladies were rumoured to be accompanying Mr Bingley to Netherfield. Mrs Bennet was relieved when the number of females proved to be grossly exaggerated, and for the most part—married.
Mr Darcy was Mr Bingley’s particular guest and had brought with him his senior married sister, her husband, and a younger sister. Not to forget his mother, a straightforward speaking lady with an uncanny ability to understand human nature.
Mr Darcy was pleasant to look upon and an accomplished dancer, but neither he nor his mother perceived Elizabeth Bennet as any threat to his marital status. Elizabeth suspected that his affections might be engaged elsewhere when she accepted an invitation to Pemberley as Miss Georgiana Darcy’s particular friend.
“My courage rises at every attempt to intimidate me,” Elizabeth Bennet proudly proclaimed. The stubbornness that could never bear to be frightened by the will of others was about to be tested by the last man in the world she could ever be prevailed upon to marry.
Master of Puppets is an angst-filled mystery romance variation of Pride and Prejudice of approximately 93,000 words that spans several years.
PS: I solemnly swear that no matter what happens in this novel…it ends with a HEA for Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Best regards, Elin.
