The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.

Jane Austen's tale of Pride and Prejudice told through the eyes of Lydia Bennet.

Emma + Elsie started from a basic premise—what if two of my favorite Jane Austen characters, Emma Woodhouse and Elizabeth Bennet, were best friends in modern times? It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a women in possession of a good piece of gossip, must be in want of her best friend. Heartwarming, feminine, and laugh-out-loud funny, Emma + Elsie is a story about a surprising friendship between two girls as they celebrate the end of their teen years and promise never to grow apart. For fans of Jane Austen, Emma + Elsie is a serialized, modern mashup and retelling of Pride and Prejudice and Emma. The serial starts with an introduction to Emma Woodhouse and Elsie Bennet, plus an entire cast of players, including Mr. Woodhouse, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Jane, Kitty, Lydia, and Mary Bennet, Jace Knightley, Chuck and Caroline Bingley, Mr. and Mrs. Hurst, Mrs. Goddard, Harriet Smith, Annabeth Taylor, Mr. Weston, Lacey Bates, and more. Emma and Elsie live in the sleepy Louisiana town of Rosebelle, located just 30 minutes south of the River Road. They have just graduated from high school and are enjoying their summer before freshman year at Louisiana State University when they meet Fitzwilliam Darcy, who throws them both completely for a loop. In between weddings, graduation parties, and The Belle of Roses summer event, they deal with the Bingley party hanging around town and the oddities surrounding the family—particularly the mystery of Fitz Darcy.
