Iron Heart

Edinburgh, 1859

Beauden Somerton is dying. Despite the efforts of his father and renowned medical expert, Dr Augustus Somerton, time is running out for Beauden. So, when the research of an enterprising young medical student catches their attention, they realise she may be their last hope.

Galena Tindale fears her unorthodox research has jeopardised her chances of graduating from Edinburgh Medical College. Still, she cannot turn down an opportunity to assist the infamous Dr Somerton in a groundbreaking attempt to save his son's life. And, as she strives to mend Beauden's failing heart, he succeeds in capturing hers.

But not everyone wants Beauden to survive, and it's clear they'll go to violent and destructive lengths to prevent his revolutionary treatment from going ahead. But how far will they go? Will Galena manage to perform lifesaving surgery before it's too late? Or will she be forced to live in a world that doesn't include Beauden Somerton?
