Strange Star

by Emma Carroll

Switzerland, 1816. As lightning cracks across the sky, Lord Byron and his friends gather to tell ghost stories—but for Felix, the serving boy, the real terror is just beginning.

A desperate knock at the door brings a mysterious girl with strange scars and a haunting claim: her sister has vanished, taken by none other than Mary Shelley. She’s not alone, she warns—something else has followed her across Europe. And whatever it is, it’s not a story. It’s real.
