In 1824, Lyme Regis is as tumultuous as the sea that surrounds it. When
twenty-four-year-old Ada Winters - poor, peculiar and brilliant - uncovers a
set of unusual fossils on the cliffs, she believes she has found the answer to
her scientific frustrations and her family's financial struggles.
Meanwhile, Doctor Edwin Moyle has come to Dorset in search of the discovery
that will place him amongst the greatest geologists of the age. What he finds
instead is a strange young woman who seems to hold the key to everything he
desires.
But what is the creature that Ada and Edwin seek to unearth? And will it lead
them to greatness, or destruction?
