The Island of Dr. Moreau
Summary
The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells is a classic science-fiction story that explores the realm of scientifically created human and animal hybrids. The main character, Edward Prendick, is left on an island after being rescued by a self-serving captain and an animal trader named Montgomery. The island, owned by a Dr. Moreau, is filled with frightening half human, half animal creatures that shock and appall Prendick. When he runs into the woods for safety, Prendick is chased by one of these beasts. Luckily, he is able to escape and navigates to the compound where Dr. Moreau creates the creatures. Prendick's nights are filled with the sounds of animals suffering as Dr. Moreau creates his experiments including his latest a puma-human hybrid. Prendick tries to escape the island but is unsuccessful. He finds a home with a colony of half humans and is surprised by how civilized they are. They make him follow codes including not killing and recognizing Dr. Moreau as the creator. However, when Dr. Moreau and Montgomery die tragically, the beasts become more animal like, and they turn on Prendick. Luckily, Prendick is able to escape when a boat crashes onto shore. Once back in England, however, Prendick discovers that his time on the island has changed his perspective and he can no longer tolerate people who act on their animal instincts. He chooses solitude and scientific studies to find peace.

Prince Prelude: Legend
Summary
Prince Prelude: Legend begins the Legend story. It tells you why and how Spellbound: Legend came to be. Seductive, powerful Lamia DuLaine is used to getting what she wants - and she wants Julian Talbot. From the moment she sees him in the hedonistic atmosphere of 1814 Brussels, she knows she must have the roguishly handsome lord, and nothing as inconsequential as an innocent chit of a fiancee will stand in her way. After all, Lamia has more than just beauty in her arsenal; a thousand years of living have given the DuLaine unparalleled expertise at manipulating humans, especially men. Julian's betrothed, Maxie Reigate, however, is more than just a simple, pretty miss; she has powers of her own - some of which even she doesn't yet know about. And Maxie also has an ally in her corner: the Fae Prince of the House of Dagda. But Prince Breslyn's role in this battle may be limited, for he has another human woman to worry about, one who has been badly used by the Fae queen's friend Gaisioch. Plus, Bres has promised his queen that in the matter of Julian, Maxie, and Lamia, he won't directly interfere... Spellbound: Legend is the next book in the series.
