A year after an accidentally whirlwind Grand Tour with her brother, Monty, Felicity Montague has returned to England to enroll in medical school. However, her intellect and passion will never be enough for the administrators who see men as the sole guardians of science. But then she learns that a doctor she idolizes is marrying an old friend of hers in Germany. Felicity believes this man could change her future, but she has no money of her own to make the trip. Luckily, a mysterious young woman is willing to pay Felicity's way, as long as she's allowed to travel with her. In spite of her suspicions, Felicity agrees, but once the girl's true motives are revealed, Felicity becomes part of a perilous quest that leads them from the German countryside to the promenades of Zurich to secrets lurking beneath the Atlantic.
