"The Curse of
Land's End"
A mysterious P&P variation*
How far would you go to save the one you truly love?
Mr Darcy is a man plagued by nightmares and guilt. Something buried in his past is always trying to emerge. Unable to overcome his pain, he hides from the world.
Until a letter reaches him.
Bingley, one of his best friends, is inviting him to spend some time at the coast, in the neighbouring area of Penzance, Cornwall, where he is not just dealing with his trade business, but also enjoying the first months of his new life as a married man. His bride is an angel-like gentlewoman called Jane, whom he met during a visit to Hertfordshire, last Summer.
In case Darcy accepts, Bingley has only one request to make: that he may bring with him one of his new sisters, a Miss Elizabeth, as a favour to his dearest wife.
After such a painful summer, and considering he had already missed his friend’s wedding, against all odds Darcy decides to accept.
What he does not know, however, is that this single decision will change his life forever. First, because he will meet the only woman not just handsome enough to tempt him, but also the only one able to break the walls of his prison and open for him a door to a happiness he never thought possible. And, second, because he will never be the same ever again after this which will also be the most terrifying experience of his life.
“The Curse of Land’s End” is a story about secrets, intrigue and mysteries which challenges rationality and faith, and demands a courage strong enough to transcend every instinct of self-preservation in the name of honour and love.
“You will do nothing in this world without courage, for it is the greatest quality of the mind next to honour.”
(Aristotle)
"Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window."
William Faulkner, Writer
Nobel Prize Literature 1949
