Lady Knight

Ages 12 And Up, Grades 7 And Up

Bestselling author Amalie Howard delivers the unputdownable companion novel to Queen Bee, Lady Knight, which follows the daughter of a duke defying the rules of high society in regency-era London with the help of friends, including the resident rake.

Lady Zenobia "Zia" Osborn, a duke’s daughter, is frustrated that her entire life has been predetermined. What good is skill or intelligence if one is forced to suffocate it because of one’s sex? She’d much rather make her mark on the world than bat her eyelashes for the ton.

Zia only comes alive in the Lady Knights, a clandestine social club for rebellious girls. In it, she is free to compose music, fence, read controversial literature, and save orphans from destitution by any means necessary. Aside from her closest confidantes, no one knows about Zia’s indecorous other life. . . .

Until Mr. Rafi Nasser, a rogue with secrets of his own, finds out. Shocked yet intrigued by his best friend’s younger sister, he agrees to keep Zia’s secret—if only to help her avoid utter scandal.
