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 he is alive and continuing his work on a remote
tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations are
true.
Accompanied by her father's handsome young assistant, Montgomery,
and an enigmatic castaway, Edward ;both of whom she is deeply
drawn to;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. And 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 her jungle prison 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.
