Omschrijving

SHADE: The Award-Winning Frankenstein Saga: The Complete Trilogy: A Re-Imagining of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

SHADE: Book 1:

A dangerous holiday. A deadly curse brought to life.

When Mary Wollstonecroft Godwin accepted an invitation to Lord Byron's house party deep in the Swiss Alps, she hoped it would serve as a welcome distraction from her broken heart. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by enigmatic guests with their own dangerous secrets to hide. From the moment of her arrival, the party is more than it seems, as Mary and the others are strictly forbidden from leaving the villa after dark.

But tales of feral beasts aren't the only rumors whispering through the halls. Doctor John Polidori, a handsome and mysterious party guest, fervently pursues local legends that the dead can rise, ruled by their own barbaric king. When the group plays a game of storytelling to pass the time, they weave together tales of nightmarish ghouls and horrible villains inspired by the myths—and Mary soon realizes their harmless stories have the power to conjure.

Twisted creatures will come to call. The dead will stalk the villa. And their royal master will stop at nothing to claim Mary as his own…

DUSK: Book 2:

Byron warned them to never go out after dark. There are dangerous creatures prowling in the woods, driven down from the mountains in hunger. Mary didn't believe him.

Then she saw one last night. After it ripped apart a pack of wolves.

Now Byron is gone, and both John and Percy may have fallen prey to hydrophobia—for there's a frightening madness in their behavior. On top of that, Claire has gone into premature labor and Mary will do anything to save her stepsister's baby.

She'll even ride off alone to Geneva, seeking a midwife, knowing that both Claire and her baby may die without one. But it's already midday and Mary fears she won't make it back before dark, when the vampire-like creatures will begin to hunt again.

And dusk is fast approaching...

DAWN: Book 3

Dawn is almost here. Mary thought they'd be safe by now, but they aren't.

They may never be safe again.

Now, she doesn't know who she can trust—even John seems different. She worries that he may have been bitten by the sangsue on the road to Geneva.

If she was worried about her own safety, that would be bad enough. But she has Claire's baby to care for and she can't lose another child. She just can't.

She'd be cursed forever if that happened.

Her only option is to flee, to take the baby and leave everyone else behind. But Byron refuses to let her go alone. The baby girl is his, after all, and he may be a monster, but he would never abandon his child.

So, the three of them flee together, knowing the Vampire King wants them for a dark plan and that the world will be never be the same if he catches them…
