In mid-19th-century England, medicine is still seen more as witchcraft than as a science, and it is improper for a woman to even say the words “childbirth” or “hemorrhoids”… In surgery, men rule without restraint: they are convinced that women do not belong at the operating table and must not be allowed to assist with dissections, treat wounds, or remove tumors. But gifted Nora Biddy—young protégé of the eminent scientist Horace Croft—secretly works as a surgeon and has no intention of giving up the craft she loves, even if her young mentor’s assistant is about to uncover her.
One day, Nora makes a bold experiment that could overturn medicine, and finds herself faced with a painful choice: to keep working in the shadows and allow the men to claim her discovery—or to step into the light, make her name known, and risk losing everything.
