She inherited a legacy of genius. He guards a secret that could destroy them both. In a world of forbidden science, some secrets are best left buried.
Lady Isolde Thorne, an impoverished noblewoman with an insatiable curiosity, finds her life irrevocably altered upon the death of her estranged father, a reclusive alchemist. His inheritance is not wealth, but a crumbling manor house on the desolate moors and a hidden laboratory filled with arcane instruments and cryptic journals. Isolde soon discovers her father was on the verge of a discovery that could change the very fabric of existence—or unleash an unimaginable horror.
Lord Alaric Blackwood, a brilliant but disgraced scientist, arrives at Thorne Manor under the guise of settling the estate. His true mission: to retrieve his family's stolen research, research he believes Isolde's father pilfered. Alaric is a man of logic and shadows, his reputation as dangerous as his intellect. He suspects Isolde is either a naive pawn or a cunning accomplice in her father's illicit experiments.
As Isolde delves deeper into her father's forbidden work, she uncovers a conspiracy that stretches through the highest echelons of Regency society. With strange occurrences plaguing the manor and a growing attraction to the enigmatic Alaric, Isolde must decide who to trust. Is Alaric her enemy, seeking to exploit her father's legacy, or the only man who can help her decipher the dangerous truths hidden within the secret laboratory? As the line between science and madness blurs, they must race against time to protect a secret that powerful forces will kill to possess. But some knowledge, once awakened, cannot be contained.
