To escape the monster, she must create one of her own.
To escape the monsters surrounding her, Ava Frankenstein will attempt the impossible: piecing together a miracle of flesh, metal, and devotion to help her seek revenge.
Ava is a brilliant engineer in the dying city of Silrovia, where obedience is worshiped and academic perfection means survival. Her greatest rival, Matthew, is infuriatingly intelligent and a constant threat to her success, yet Ava finds it increasingly impossible to crush her forbidden desire to have him for herself. When Matthew finally confesses he's always wanted her too, a gentler future Ava never allowed herself to dream of suddenly seems possible.
And then Matthew disappears.
Ava buries her grief beneath a life of glittering decadence her powerful family chooses for her: a prestigious career, an elite husband, and every luxury Silrovia can offer. But beneath the diamonds and high-society smiles, Ava discovers a cage of nightmares. Her marriage is a trap, her life only valuable as long as she is useful. Determined to escape her living hell by tracking down Matthew, she discovers death has paid him a visit and bereft her of the one man that truly loved her.
But Ava is a brilliant electrical engineer, and even death cannot stand in her way to bring back the man she loves.
GALVANIZED is a gothic dystopian romance and feminist Frankenstein reimagining featuring dark academia, rivals-to-lovers, obsessive devotion, forbidden love, resurrection, yearning, and slow burn to high heat.
