Barnum’s Angel by Len Boswell

To some, Lily is a beautiful little girl. To others, she is a freakish albino. Charles Darwin calls her his impossible girl, a daunting challenge to the intricate theories he is developing. P. T. Barnum calls her his angel, his ultimate attraction, and tries to take advantage of her. Inspector Charles Field of Scotland Yard calls her his most frustrating work of police detection.

But she is something other, a species of unimaginable abilities and power, a power she struggles every day to control. Only the strange blood coursing through her veins will decide when and how she unleashes that power on the world.

From the cold, barren shores of Tierra del Fuego to the bustling crowds of Victorian London, Lily’s story—and her quest—begins to unfold.
