Penniless and disgraced, Adelaide Wentworth is feeling
rather desperate. With nothing left to lose, she and her
sister, Louisa, flee to Lake Geneva with Adelaide’s lover,
the infamous poet Julian Estes. There, Louisa hopes to
persuade Bayard Sonnier—celebrated writer and her former
lover—to advance Julian’s career. He is their last hope for
salvation. At the Villa Diodati—the place that inspired the writing of
Frankenstein sixty years earlier—Louisa plots to rekindle
her affair with Bayard, while Adelaide hopes to restore her
fading love for Julian by being the muse he needs. But soon, secrets are revealed, passions ignited, and hidden
talents discovered. Adelaide begins to imagine a different
life. Confused, she turns to Giovanni Calina—Bayard’s
assistant and a man with his own secrets and deep
resentments—and the two form a dangerous alliance. No one
leaves unscathed in this richly imagined, emotionally
nuanced tale of passion, ambition, inspiration, and redemption.
