❝ Was never touched like this before; was object of a revelation ❞
Marian Frankenstein is a woman who has always been too intelligent, too stubborn, and certainly too outspoken for the time she lives in. That was how she ended up married to Victor, a Baron just as outspoken about his own ideas of how the world could work. He is a strange man, but the only suitor she ever had that actually humored her conversations about politics and biology. He respects her, and in turn, she puts up with his ungodly ideas. She certainly can't create anything with her own womb, so in spite of her reservations she does not try to stop him from raising the dead.
And when it actually works, his creation is nothing like either of them thought. A blank slate with a spark of intelligence behind his mismatched eyes. Victor resents him, but Marian is besotted. However, the fiery doom she saves him from may very well seal the fates of all three.
