Description:

Upon her arrival at Victor Frankenstein's secluded estate, Elizabeth anticipates a life of solitude and uncomplicated domesticity as his bride. However, she quickly perceives that the opulence in her surroundings conceals profound underlying maladies: within the confines of the heavy-stone walls, she encounters Victor's reclusive son, a gentle and intelligent young man who is regarded as a disgraceful secret by his father, who rejects him.As Elizabeth begins to probe the shadows of the household, she uncovers the true extent of Victor’s relentless pursuit of perfection, and the wounds it has carved into the lives within these walls. However, as she becomes closely acquainted with the boy, it is possible that she may also discover unknown aspects of her own identity to unravel.—Inspired by a post by @ knivvesout on twitter/x
