The Queen 'neath the Hedge came from nowhere, from out of reed and nightshade. She conquered two worlds and entwined them together, Britain to the Other Realm - home of the mysterious Umbra.
Four hundred years after her death, every Britain is still mortally bonded to an Umbra. But now her treaty is unravelling and Georgian England's salons and ballrooms are haunted by a rumour:
'She's coming back.'
Everyone is trying to stop her, but there's a problem: no one knows who, or where, or what she is.

A Matter of Feeling - A Pride & Prejudice FanFic
In the rolling countryside of Hertfordshire, a new family from distant, wintry Estonia arrives-unconventional, mysterious, and quickly the subject of whispered curiosity among the English gentry. Miss Kiva Mörk, quiet and keenly observant, is unlike any lady Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy has ever encountered. With a mind sharpened by solitude and a gaze that unnerves even the proudest gentleman, she stirs something unexpected in him-a reluctant fascination he cannot easily dismiss. As Mr. Bingley is drawn to the lively charm of Kiva's elder sister, the social world of balls, letters, and guarded glances begins to shift. Between cultures, class, and continents, affection does not bloom easily-but it burns slowly, and once ignited, refuses to fade. A reimagining of Pride and Prejudice told through foreign eyes and buried longing, Mr. Darcy and Miss Mörk is a tale of restraint and revelation, where love must be earned, and every silence has its weight.Complete
