After killing the men who tried to steal her fatherâ€™s research, Julietâ€”along with Montgomery, Lucy, Balthazar, and a deathly ill Edwardâ€”has escaped to a remote estate on the Scottish moors. Owned by the enigmatic Elizabeth von Stein, the mansion is full of mysteries and unexplained oddities: dead bodies in the basement, secret passages, and fortune-tellers who seem to know Julietâ€™s secrets. Though it appears to be a safe haven, Juliet fears new dangers may be present within the manorâ€™s own walls.,Then Juliet uncovers the truth about the manorâ€™s long history of scientific experimentationâ€”and her own intended role in itâ€”forcing her to determine where the line falls between right and wrong, life and death, magic and science, and promises and secrets. And she must decide if sheâ€™ll follow her fatherâ€™s dark footsteps or her motherâ€™s tragic ones, or whether sheâ€™ll make her own.,With inspiration from Mary Shelleyâ€™s Frankenstein, this breathless conclusion to the Madmanâ€™s Daughter trilogy is about the things weâ€™ll sacrifice to save those we loveâ€”even our own humanity.
