In 1814, Britain is at war on four fronts, Europe is in ruins, and Stranje House hides one of England’s most dangerous secrets. Officially, it’s where rebellious young ladies are “reformed” into perfect society wives. In reality, Headmistress Emma Stranje trains them as spies and diplomats.
After setting her father’s stables ablaze during a scientific experiment, Miss Georgiana Fitzwilliam is sent to Stranje House. Georgie has no interest in becoming a docile debutante—she plans to escape.

Because in this school, survival means learning to fight with brains, bravery, and maybe even your heart.
