The Madman's Daughter
Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in
London — working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal that ruined her life. After all, no one ever
proved the rumors about her father’s gruesome experiments. But when she
learns that he’s alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical
island, she is determined to find out if the accusations were true.
Accompanied by her father’s handsome young assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic
castaway, Edward, Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the
depths of her father’s madness: He has experimented on animals so that
they resemble, speak, and behave as humans. Worse, one of the creatures
has turned violent and is killing the island’s inhabitants. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity, Juliet knows she must end her father’s dangerous experiments and escape before it’s too late. Yet as the
island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father’s
genius — and madness — in her own blood.
Inspired by H. G. Wells’s classic The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Madman's Daughter is a dark and breathless gothic thriller about the secrets we’ll do
anything to know and the truths we’ll go to any lengths to protect.
