Across the water, the Napoleonic Wars raged but a young girl is about to discover a danger much closer to home. The protagonist, Lucy Manners, is a 12-year-old girl who has been sent to Miss Hackett’s School on Titchfield Street, London. After encountering several unpleasant fellow students, Lucy discovers the Greek Sphinx in the school’s attic. The two become fast friends, sharing conversations, despite the Sphinx’s quarrelsome nature.
Lucy soon discovers that the Sphinx, considering herself a blight upon man, has come to London to query men with riddles and, when they fail to answer correctly, to strangle them. In order to prevent this massacre, Lucy opts to be the first person to attempt to answer a riddle, which she does correctly.
