Lady Rogue

Theodora Fox has read every book in her treasure-hunter father's library and knows the world's sought-after relics better than most adults, but he's never let her travel with him. That privilege belongs to his young protege, Huck Gallagher, who also happens to be the boy Theodora once loved and hasn't forgiven. When Huck returns from an expedition without her father, the two reluctantly team up, following her father's travel journal toward a legendary ring once belonging to Vlad the Impaler, better known as Dracula. Their search leads through Gothic villages and dark castles in the misty Carpathian Mountains, but a secretive occult society with its own ties to Vlad wants the ring just as badly, and won't stop at murder to get it. Jenn Bennett's YA adventure blends real history with old-world gothic atmosphere and a slow-burn reunion romance.
