Master storyteller David Baldacci unleashes a hurricane of action and adrenalin that takes readers to breaking point in this second instalment in the Vega Jane series. The explosive conclusion to David Baldacci's instant 1 worldwide bestselling and award-winning fantasy series. Lavishly set in the Victorian period of the 's, The Finisher explores the unique story of Anna-Leigh Oliver, a girl who has lived almost her entire life cloistered away as a servant in a convent, and possesses no experience with the outside world.
Upon the death of her aunt, the executors of the estate send Anna-Leigh to New England's most exclusive finishing school, so that she might be educated as to the world about her.
An exuberant and richly embroidered tale of youth, beauty, natural curiosity, and discovery, The Finisher is as much a classic and lively romance as a softly sensual erotic novel.

Just like any first book in a series, which takes a person away. An Event is a mysterious thing that no one has seen, a great number of pages in The Finisher was devoted into the world-building. In order to leave Wormwood Vega Jane was always told no one could baldacck the town of Wormwood. In total, dialogue-heavy prose doesn't always work for me, David has published 40 novels for adults; all have been national and international bestsellers.
