A BRAND NEW PAPERBACK EDITION OF THE BEGUILING GOTHIC NOVEL
As darkness falls and storms rage over Lake Geneva, a group of friends gather in a candle-lit villa.
Among them are eighteen-year-old Mary and her mercurial lover Percy Shelley. As laudanum stirs their feverish imaginations, their host Lord Byron challenges everyone to write a ghost story.
Suddenly Mary is transported back to a long, strange summer in the wilds of Scotland, where she fell in love with the enigmatic Isabella Baxter.
As she remembers, something fierce and terrifying awakes within her. Now she will unleash it into the world.
