Prisn (WIP)
Isla, desperate for control and closure to an event that spared her life, hunts a shadowed man for information. Then she meets the shade Silas Prismer, the after-effect of an electrical experiment gone wrong, who travels at the speed of light and runs a dynasty stretching the world. He plans a return to humanity, but before he can, he must share everything with Isla. Everything. Noir Dr. FrankenGatsby of Monte Cristo, a Teslapunk story.
Chef Isla lives a shadowed half-life; she can barely make ends meet from debt, she fights the neighbors on her way home, and she hates working at Applebees when she has a culinary degree. Then she meets Prismer, a playboy who cannot age and owns property spanning the globe. Multilingual, business-savvy, and somehow kind, Prismer harbors a dark secret that he aches to tell. Can Isla survive it?
Frankenscience meets The Great Gatsby with the creepiness of Hannibal.
