  A feared warlord. A disgraced officer. A capricious sultan. An offer too good to refuse.  
  Marrakesh, 1893: After being drummed out of the army and losing the love of his life, Harry Delhaze can see no further than the next drink.  
  Then an old friend from the past appears. He wants Harry to come with him to Morocco to help the sultan quell a rebel uprising. It sounds like easy money and Harry thinks his luck has turned. 
  But this is no ordinary rebellion. Warlord, Bou Hamra, is a formidable enemy. Harry comes face to face with ancient cannons, crazed warriors and caged lions. 
  And when he is taken prisoner by the mysterious Lord of the Atlas, he realises he’s no longer fighting for money – he’s fighting for his life. 
  From the ancient palaces of Marrakesh to the lonely kasbahs of the wild Atlas Mountains, this is a gripping tale of intrigue, loyalty and courage.

  Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award • Read by Audie Award-winning narrator Barrie Kreinik  
  "Worthy of comparison to Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea . . . A splendid achievement from a writer at the height of her powers."—Historical Novels Review (Editors' Choice) 
  "This book has it all. Unnatural Creatures is an atmospheric, reimagined classic about the lines we cross for loyalty and love." —Foreword Reviews 
  For the first time, the story of the three women closest to Victor Frankenstein is revealed in a sweeping reimagining of Frankenstein by the author of The Lost History of Dreams. 
  THE MOTHER. Caroline Frankenstein will do anything to protect her family against the revolutions engulfing 18th-century Europe. In doing so, she creates her own monster in the form of her scientist son, Victor. 
  THE BRIDE. Rescued by Caroline as a four-year-old beggar, Elizabeth Lavenza knows the only way she can repay the Frankensteins is by accepting Victor's hand in marriage. But when Elizabeth's heart yearns for another, the lives of those she most loves collide with the unnatural creature born of Victor's profane experiments. 
  THE SERVANT. After an abusive childhood, Justine Moritz is taken in by Caroline to serve the Frankensteins. Justine's devotion to Caroline and Elizabeth knows no bounds . . . until a tragedy changes her irrevocably. Her fate sets her against Victor's monster, who is desperate to wreak revenge against the Frankensteins. 
  Stunningly written and exquisitely atmospheric, Unnatural Creatures shocks new life into Mary Shelley's beloved gothic classic by revealing the feminine side of the tale.
