I hunted down an ARC of this book so FYI it doesn't come out until next year.
This is set about thirty years prior to the Soulless series and once you get past book two in that series some players in that book are in this one. A rather unusual finishing school comes to recruit Sophronia and things are not what they seem almost from the beginning. There is also an all boys school that is slightly partnered with Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality but they do not get that much time in the book except for a few chapters. I don't want to say too much about the plot but it is the usual new student in a school they know nothing about and finding new friends and rising to the challenge of a mystery. The main mystery is solved by the end of the book but I really want to see more of this setting as fast as I can get my hands on the next one.
