The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy
By Mackenzi Lee
In this highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, Felicity Montague must use all her womanly wits and wiles to achieve her dreams of becoming a doctor—even if she has to scheme her way across Europe to do it. A must-have for fans of Mackenzi Lee’s extraordinary and Stonewall Honor-winning novel.
A year after an accidentally whirlwind grand tour with her brother Monty, Felicity Montague has returned to England with two goals in mind—avoid the marriage proposal of a lovestruck suitor from Edinburgh and enroll in medical school. However, her intellect and passion will never be enough in the eyes of the administrators, who see men as the sole guardians of science.
But then a window of opportunity opens—a doctor she idolizes is marrying an old friend of hers in Germany. Felicity believes if she could meet this man he could change her future, but she has no money of her own to make the trip. Luckily, a mysterious young woman is willing to pay Felicity’s way, so long as she’s allowed to travel with Felicity disguised as her maid.
In spite of her suspicions, Felicity agrees, but once the girl’s true motives are revealed, Felicity becomes part of a perilous quest that leads them from the German countryside to the promenades of Zurich to secrets lurking beneath the Atlantic.
- A Fiercely Feminist Heroine: Felicity Montague won’t let any man—or the whole of society—stand in the way of her dream of becoming a doctor.
- A High-Stakes Adventure: What starts as a trip to Germany becomes a daring continental quest filled with secret plots, shadowy figures, and life-or-death stakes.
- Positive Asexual Representation: A celebrated YA novel featuring a determined aro-ace protagonist on a journey of self-discovery that has nothing to do with romance.
- A Found Family of Pirates: Join a swashbuckling crew on the high seas, where alliances are tested, loyalties are forged, and danger is always on the horizon.
- Return to a Beloved World: Fans of The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue will love this standalone adventure starring Monty’s brilliant and formidable younger sister.
