In this prequel to Mary Shelley's gothic classic, Frankenstein, impossible odds, dangerous alchemy and a bitter love triangle threaten the heroes' quest at every turn.  16-year-old Victor Frankenstein begins a dark journey that will change his life forever. An alluring story for young adult readers the story follows Victor Frankenstein - together with his beloved cousin Elizabeth and reliable friend, Henry - on a desperate quest to create the forbidden Elixir of Life. They must succeed, and quickly, if they are to save Victor's twin brother, Konrad, from an unknown and perilous illness. Chateau Frankenstein is home to many secrets, which unravel as Victor tests his ambition, skill and loyalty; as well as the trust of all who surround him. Readers may know Kenneth Oppel's earlier writing - the Silverwing trilogy and Airborn series, and his last novel, Half Brother, but in This Dark Endeavour, the author reveals to us a new perspective towards an old story; crafted with his usual flair, pace and atmosphere.
