14 year-old Sophronia just isn't cut out to be the lady her mother expects her to be, preferring climbing to curtsies, and getting herself into scuffles and situations entirely unsuited to her class. So her mother sends Sophronia to finishing school, a school meant to train young ladies in the arts of culture and deportment. This school does teach young ladies to curtsy, smile demurely, and perform the art of gracious conversation, and also teaches espionage techniques, self defense, information gathering, and so much more. Much to Sophronia's surprise this "finishing" school is exactly her cup of tea.
