Sophronia continues her second year at finishing school in style – with a steel-bladed fan secreted in the folds of her ball gown, of course.
Such a fashionable choice of weapon comes in handy when Sophronia, her best friend Dimity, sweet sootie Soap, and the charming Lord Felix Mersey stowaway on a train to return their classmate Sidheag to her werewolf pack in Scotland. Because no one would have suspected what – and who – they would find aboard the suspiciously empty train. Sophronia uncovers a plot that threatens to dissolve all of London into chaos and must decide where her loyalties lie once and for all.
The 3rd book in the YA steampunk Finishing School series by Gail Carriger, set in the same world as the Parasol Protectorate series.
