For three hundred years, Zahaira was a prisoner. Stolen from her life and trapped within a hidden laboratory, she became the subject of countless experiments designed to turn her into something no human was ever meant to be. Vampire eyes. Mermaid lungs. Demonic power. Piece by piece, her humanity was torn away and replaced with monsters. When she is moved to a secluded island under the care of a mysterious man named Ambrose, freedom finally seems within reach. But the island holds secrets of its own, and the scientist responsible for her suffering is never far away. Haunted by centuries of pain, Zahaira must decide whether to fight for the life stolen from her or embrace the powerful creature she has become. Some experiments were meant to create weapons. She was created to become something far more dangerous.
