Description
Sophronia's life is a trial for her mother. She'd rather dismantle clocks and climb trees than learn proper manners. To help Sophronia become a lady, her mother enrolls her in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy. However, the school is not what its name suggests. While young ladies do learn etiquette and other refined skills, they also study more...unconventional subjects. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, girls are taught to deal with death, diversion, and espionage in a polite manner. Sophronia soon discovers that her first year at the academy will be an education unlike any she's ever had. As Sophronia navigates this new world of secrets and deception, she'll learn valuable skills that will serve her well - or put her in grave danger.
