Summary
Adelia feels her life is ending.
Her father has whittled away the family fortune, leaving them destitute. Desperate to hold on to his lands and holdings, Adelia's father agrees to marry her off to a mysterious Baron for a large sum of money. Adelia has heard horrific tales of the Baron's monstrous nature and is beyond terrified at this arrangement but has no choice but to bend to the will of her father.
Adam Frankenstein is a recluse. He knows that people whisper about him, his refusal to make public appearances without donning a mask does nothing to quell the rumors. They say he is cursed, deformed, a monster, and perhaps this is true. He has been advised to take a wife, to solidify his influence in the High Society of Europe. He reluctantly agrees, if only to uphold the memory of his creator.
Married, but still strangers.
Will there be friendship or vitriol, romance or resentment?
*Takes place 10 years after the death of Victor Frankenstein*
(Heavily inspired by Beauty and the Beast)
