Inspired by his brilliance and daring, his great niece Mary Saville and her husband, Henry, are determined to follow in Victor’s scientific footsteps. Both are intelligent and determined, yet they lack the reputation necessary to be recognized among the British Empire’s most renowned paleontologists. Though Mary is admired for her sharp mind, her fierce tongue and Henry’s gambling addiction hinder endorsement by their peers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut after uncovering clues to her great uncle’s disappearance, Mary devises a plan to realize her ambitions.
