Elizabeth Bennet’s time in Kent has been the restful retreat from the rumors that drove her away from Meryton that she wished. When her family joins her and final preparations for her wedding to Fitzwilliam Darcy begin, she feels they have conquered every obstacle in their paths.
But fate still has a role to play, for the sight of the man who affected her removal throws them all into turmoil. Mr. Wickham, it appears, means to interfere with that happiness, his implacable enmity for her betrothed driving him to actions unthinkable.
While Mr. Darcy leads the search for Mr. Wickham, the later makes a desperate ploy, a final attempt to gain his vengeance on a man he believes denied him his due. In the end, it comes down to an unlikely source to foil his attempts before he gains his victory.
Quitting the Sphere is a novella of approximately 40,000 words and is the final book in the No Cause to Repine tetralogy. Volumes 1, 2, and 3, A Tacit Engagement, Scandalous Falsehoods, and Upstart Pretensions tell the story of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet’s journey together and should be read first.
