The Lady Rogue

Theodora Fox is a true adventurer's daughter - smart, curious, independent, and feisty. Unfortunately her father Richard only ever leaves her behind in hotel rooms when they are out traveling the world. Then, while in Istanbul, Theodora's childhood love Huck turns up at her hotel out of the blue a year after he left without even saying goodbye, and informs Theo that her father is missing and sent Huck to find her. Looking at her father's travel journal, which Huck brought with him, Theo suspects the disappearance is related to the artifact her father was hunting - a powerful ring that had belonged to Vlad III, better known as Vlad Dracula or Vlad the Impaler. She and Huck have to try and find Richard before it's too late.

The Lady Rogue is a delightful romp through early 20th-century Europe and its folklore, particularly that of the Transylvania region in Romania. Theo is a fun protagonist that will resonate with anyone longing for a little adventure in their lives (but be sure to bring a Huck with you to keep you grounded). I love a good Dracula-related story, and this one does not disappoint. I hope there will be more Theo and Huck adventures to come!
