This is an adaptation of “The Island of Dr. Mauro.” Our main character, Juliet Moreau is the daughter of a prominent doctor who went from being respected to being part of a scandal involving vivisection - that is dissecting creatures while they are still alive, so gross. Juliets father has disappeared and so Juliet has done her best to take care of herself. She has a job as a maid in a medical school. One day she catches some students trying a vivisection late one night, she stops them and in the process they drop a drawing and instructions for this and she recognizes that this is one of her fathers. She is them led to finding her father’s servant, the dreamy Montgomery. He reluctantly takes her with him to her fathers island. Once on the island the reader finds themselves in a strange place where the “natives” resemble animals. There is also a fun love triangle here.
