Amelia Balfour has one dream. . .to tour Egypt as a travel writer. But when her wish is finally within reach, her father dies, and her malformed brother Colin depends upon her to arrange for a revolutionary surgery. Amelia returns home, hoping he’ll recover before the ship sails for Cairo.
Former Navy surgeon Graham Lambert is sick—of travelling, loneliness, and especially the injustice of the world. Leaving behind the military, he partners with a renowned surgeon, the man who promises new life to Amelia’s brother.
But just as the operation begins, Graham suspects the surgeon is a fraud. After a botched procedure, Colin goes mad and escapes, terrorizing their neighbor, author Mary Godwin—planting the seed for her greatest creation, Frankenstein.
Can Amelia and Graham stop Colin before he destroys everyone in his path and find the tender soul still trapped inside…or will they be too late?

Straightening her spine, she tucked her elbows tight to her side. “Whatever you may say, Mr. Moritz, can be heard as well on my feet as on my sofa.”

“You are a singular woman, Miss Balfour, a trait which has earned you this.” He held out two rectangular documents not much bigger than his hand.

She narrowed her eyes on what appeared to be tickets. Two berths on the HMS Blackwell, sailing June 8th, 1:00 p.m., port of Southampton, bound for Cairo.
