Sophronia has no idea what it is, but ever the take-charge girl (one reason for her recruitment), she outwits the flywaymen and enacts a daring escape. However, they are rudely interrupted by flywaymen (sky highwaymen) who demand an important prototype from them. Temminnick remains in the dark, Sophronia’s enlightenment begins the moment she steps into the carriage with Mademoiselle Geraldine and finds two more school-bound students willing to explain. That is, a training ground - more accurately, a bobbing dirigible - for would-be assassins and spies most often attended by legacy students who fraternize with paranormals and know all about dastardly deeds, mayhem, and plots. Neither Sophronia nor her mother knew that a finishing school for an entirely different kind of finishing existed.
“No one said learning etiquette and espionage would be easy, my dear.” So Sophronia Angelina Temminnick learns when she is covertly recruited for Mademoiselle Geraldine’s Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality in this madcap steampunk-mystery-paranormal mash-up set in Victorian England
