The Lady Rogue

Written by Jenn Bennett and Jonathan Todd Ross

Narrated by Jesse Vilinsky

“A swashbuckling adventure.” —Booklist
“A rollicking Indiana Jones flick with a female lead.” —BCCB

The Last Magician meets A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue in this thrilling, “breathless” (Kirkus Reviews) tale filled with magic and set in the mysterious Carpathian Mountains where a girl must hunt down Vlad the Impaler’s cursed ring in order to save her father.

Some legends never die…

Traveling with her treasure-hunting father has always been a dream for Theodora. She’s read every book in his library, has an impressive knowledge of the world’s most sought-after relics, and has all the ambition in the world. What she doesn’t have is her father’s permission. That honor goes to her father’s nineteen-year-old protégé—and once-upon-a-time love of Theodora’s life—Huck Gallagher, while Theodora is left to sit alone in her hotel in Istanbul.

Until Huck returns from an expedition without her father and enlists Theodora’s help in rescuing him. Armed with her father’s travel journal, the reluctant duo learns that her father had been digging up information on a legendary and magical ring that once belonged to Vlad the Impaler—more widely known as Dracula—and that it just might be the key to finding him.

Journeying into Romania, Theodora and Huck embark on a captivating adventure through Gothic villages and dark castles in the misty Carpathian Mountains to recover the notorious ring. But they aren’t the only ones who are searching for it. A secretive and dangerous occult society with a powerful link to Vlad the Impaler himself is hunting for it, too. And they will go to any lengths—including murder—to possess it.

Reviews for The Lady Rogue

[Erica Brown · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The Lady Rogue is officially one of my new all time favorite books ? it had everything I love in a book including mystery, adventure, and romance! I absolutely loved Theodora and Huxley and thought they were completely precious, even when they wanted to kill each other in their trek to find her father. I also really appreciated how the romance didn’t overtake the story and become the focus, but rather was just a part of the overall plot. If you love a good mystery/adventure story, I would highly, highly recommend this amazing book!

Good story but the female mc was annoying and childish at times. She constantly threw tantrums that took away from the story.

It was fun and I was invested in the characters.

[Taylor Phillips · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was a very enjoyable book to binge! The narrator did a fabulous job handling so many different characters and accents. The story was intriguing as well, and had a good amount of fluff without making romance the whole point of the story.

I was happily entertained with this book. Part of me wishes it were a series.
