""With a delicious mix of science, history, and horror" (Publishers Weekly), This Dark Endeavor reinvents Victor Frankenstein as an arrogant, volatile 16-year-old who is intensely jealous and yet quite protective of his twin brother, Konrad. When Konrad falls gravely ill, Victor searches the family's secret library for a cure, finds a description of the forbidden Elixir of Life in an ancient text, and embarks on a dangerous quest to obtain its ingredients. Primarily Gothic in tone but injected with fiery action scenes and splashes of gore, this riveting tale of brotherly love is a good pick for fans of Rick Yancey's Monstrumologist series."
