Victoria Frankenstein uses her scientific talent to do the unthinkable: create life. But when she sees the horrible thing that her years of toil produced, she flees, the beauty of her dream replaced with disgust. Not even her best friend, Harriet, or her betrothed, Elias, can distract Victoria from what she has done, and when her own sister is inexplicably murdered, she realizes she’s living a nightmare. The creature is out for revenge and won’t stop until Victoria, and everyone dear to her, is destroyed.
