Rome, 1819. Into the sun‑struck streets of the Eternal City arrive the Shelleys: brilliant, volatile, and dangerously entangled. When Irish artist Amelia Curran encounters Mary Shelley, her mercurial husband Percy, and Mary’s dazzling stepsister Claire Clairmont, she is drawn into a household shimmering with genius and shadow. As Amelia becomes confidante, witness, and reluctant guardian, she observes the trio’s rivalries, secrets, and griefs sharpen in the heat of an Italian summer.  Haunted by the portrait of the executed noblewoman Beatrice Cenci, Amelia confronts the limits of art, loyalty, and female agency while the Shelleys’ lives begin to unravel: illicit desires flare, past tragedies resurface, and the future of a child hangs in the balance.  Layered, intimate, and steeped in historical detail, Glorious Monsters is a spellbinding re‑imagining of the Romantic circle where brilliance and ruin walk hand in hand.
