Princess Anya of Wallachia is only a first year student at St. Tom's in 1880 London. There is a special challenge at the University that allows first-years access to the secret and dangerous part of the Library; the part only seniors and invited guests can access.
The challenge involves alcohol, Latin, beatings, humiliation and the Boolean Sentinels. Is she up for the challenge? Well, no. But she might get through with a little help from her friends.
It's a Sherlock Holmes style mystery with humour and rude bits.
