What this book is about
Henry Montague, a reckless English lord, embarks on his Grand Tour of Europe with his best friend Percy—whom he's secretly in love with—and his sister Felicity. What begins as a farewell debauch becomes an adventure involving pirates, alchemists, and a reckoning with what Henry actually wants from his life. Mackenzi Lee's YA historical romance is funny, warm, and naturally LGBTQ+.
