<b>From <i>NYT</i> bestselling author Gail Carriger comes a witty adventure about a young woman with rare supernatural abilities travels to India for a spot of tea and adventure and finds she's bitten off more than she can chew. </b><br> When Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama ("Rue" to her friends) is bequeathed an unexpected dirigible, she does what any sensible female under similar circumstances would do -- she christens it the <i>Spotted Custard</i> and floats off to India. <br>Soon, she stumbles upon a plot involving local dissidents, a kidnapped brigadier's wife, and some awfully familiar Scottish werewolves. Faced with a dire crisis (and an embarrassing lack of bloomers), Rue must rely on her good breeding -- and her metanatural abilities -- to get to the bottom of it all...<br><br><b>The Custard Protocol</b><br><i>Prudence</i><br><i>Imprudence</i><i>Competence</i><i>Reticence</i><br>For more from Gail Carriger, check out:<br><br><b>The Parasol Protectorate </b><br><i>Soulless</i><i>Changeless</i><i>Blameless</i><i>Heartless</i><i>Timeless</i><br><br><b>Finishing School </b>(YA)<br><i>Etiquette & Espionage</i><br><i>Curtsies & Conspiracies</i><br><i>Waistcoats & Weaponry</i><br><i>Manners & Mutiny</i>
