Overview
The skies of Italy are a deep, snarling grey, and ominous foreboding storms promise this to be the year without a summer
On one wild, windswept night that echoes the very tales she would one day pen, a teenage Mary Shelley's life is shattered when she uncovers an ancient magic that promises action, adventure...and death. Alongside her first love, Percy, Mary must navigate a life that is changing rapidly before her eyes. As she battles an evil religious order bent on triggering the apocalypse, Mary finds unlikely allies in a timeless sect of warriors, a flamboyant and enigmatic Lord Byron, and powerful Italian witches.
Experience a story of action, forbidden love, and the looming specter of death, set against the backdrop of the infamous "year without a summer," where volcanic eruptions plunged Europe into perpetual rolling storms. A captivating blend of historical intrigue, heart-wrenching yearning, and breathtaking horror, this is the electrifying origin story of a literary icon reborn as a fierce monster hunter.
