In 1824, Lyme Regis is as tumultuous as the sea that surrounds it.
Wealthy holidaymakers dance in the Assembly Rooms whilst the poor
riot over the price of bread, scientists do battle with
theologists, and amidst it all, one woman is about to make an
extraordinary discovery. 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 seeks. But what is the creature that Ada
and Edwin seek to unearth? And will it be their means to greatness,
or destruction?
