    Summary

    In the quiet countryside of Hertfordshire, the Bennet family are known for their lively daughters and their desperate pursuit of wealthy matches. But beneath the charming facade, Longbourn hides a darker truth: cruelty, humiliation, and endless servitude for the daughters deemed unworthy.

    For Mary Bennet — plain, dutiful, and long-ignored — life is a bitter succession of tasks and taunts. Only her younger sister, Kitty, shares her isolation and dreams of freedom.

    As the sisters begin to dream of escape, a dangerous hope flickers to life. With unexpected allies, hidden strength, and a courage long suppressed, they will fight for a future beyond Longbourn’s walls. And perhaps — for Mary — a love both unexpected and undeniable awaits.

    In a world where pride and prejudice can bind as surely as chains, only the brave can claim their happiness.
