Return to the enchanting world of the Montague siblings in the finale to the New York Times bestselling and Stonewall Honor-winning series, featuring a teenage Adrian Montague as he desperately seeks the now adult Monty and Felicity-the older siblings he never knew he had. The sole heir to his family' s fortune, Adrian Montague desperately wants to be free-from his father' s high expectations; the grief of losing his beloved mother; and the constant war being waged inside his mind. Adrian was diagnosed with hysteria at a young age and it' s always been kept a secret. But when he has a breakdown at his engagement party, the public learns Adrian' s worst fear: he might not be fit to run the Montague estate. Thankfully, Adrian is given an opportunity to avoid the impending scandal: a trip to the Caribbean to claim the last of his mother' s possessions. But along the way, Adrian discovers another secret lurking in his family tree. He is actually the youngest of three children-his sister Felicity and brother "Monty" went missing over a decade ago. Now Adrian has the chance to find them and offer to pass the estate back to the rightful heirs. Adrian expects to win his long-lost brother over with the promise of wealth and inheritance, while dreaming of a quiet life where Adrian doesn' t feel like a burden to anyone. But when Adrian finally tracks him down, Monty refuses to return home. The only thing he can convince Monty of is to accompany him across the ocean as an act of tribute to their mother, hoping that during the voyage he can persuade Monty into taking the weight of inheriting the estate off his shoulders. When they reach their destination, Adrian and Monty find something hidden in their mother' s belongings-a clue pointing to a valuable artifact that could potentially save the Montague siblings from a curse that threatens their lives. But to retrieve it, they must chase an infamous myth through the wild sugar fields of Barbados to the haunting streets of New Orleans to mysterious uncharted islands off the edge of the map.

"A gloriously swashbuckling affair. "--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The book' s exquisite, bygone meter and vernacular sit comfortably on a contemporary shelf. And the friction of racism, tyrannical entitled politicians, and misguided disapproval of homosexuality also have a relevance rooted in current culture' s xeno- and homophobia. Austen, Wilde, and Indiana Jones converge in this deliciously anachronistic bonbon. "--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "This action-driven adventure is a joy. "--ALA Booklist (starred review) "This is a witty, romantic, and exceedingly smart look at discovering one' s place in the world. A stunning powerhouse of a story for every collection. "--School Library Journal (starred review) "An incredible, must-have follow-up full of old characters and new, blood and guts, and a delightful barrage of sarcasm. "--School Library Journal (starred review) Mackenzi Lee (This Monstrous Thing) combines her knowledge of European history with a contemporary, comic sensibility to create an over-the-top romantic adventure complete with cliff-hanging chapter endings and sometimes outrageous narration. Monty is a licentious, flawed and engaging 18th-century hero. --Shelf Awareness (starred review) "Gentleman' s Guide to Vice and Virtue is the queer teen historical you didn' t know was missing from your life. " --Teen Vogue ("Best Queer Books to Celebrate Pride 2017") "The Lady' s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy is fun while still being thoughtful, feminist, and an ode to female friendship. "--Bustle "A feminist feast that challenges societal norms and forgoes all romance, which is unconventional, albeit refreshing, in young adult literature. " --BookPage "A swashbuckling, fantastical coming-of-age adventure that quite simply swallowed me whole. " --Audible Editor' s Pick "An outrageously fun, witty, fascinating, and romantic adventure, starring a memorable trio I' d happily travel with for ages. Lee is a definite force in diverse historical YA. "--Dahlia Adler, founder of LGBTQ Reads and author of Under the Lights "Careening from fete to fiasco on a Grand Tour of 18th century Europe, THE GENTLEMEN' S GUIDE TO VICE AND VIRTUE is a dizzying, dazzling, and roguishly romantic romp. This book makes me want to unrequite my own love so I can requite him all over again. "--Heidi Heilig, author of The Girl From Everywhere "Don' t read this book unless you like adventure, hijinks, and forbidden romance, and if you do, then read it twice. "--Stacey Lee, author of The Secret of a Heart Note and Under a Painted Sky Praise for THE GENTLEMAN' S GUIDE TO VICE AND VIRTUE: "Tongue-in-cheek, wildly entertaining, and anachronistic in only the most delightful ways, this is a gleeful romp through history. Monty is a hero worthy of Oscar Wilde. "--ALA Booklist (starred review) Praise for THE LADY' S GUIDE TO PETTICOATS AND PIRACY: "[Lee] develops a world rich in historical detail, crafts a plot wild with unexpected turns, and explores complex topics like colonization and identity. An empowering and energetic adventure that celebrates friendship between women. "--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
