Johnathan Pennyfare is in the prime of his life. Young and well-to-do, he's fighting to find his place in rural Sussex as England is caught in the throws of the Industrial Revolution. Good thing he has the love of beautiful Emma Talbot to ground him. Their names will be on everybody's lips once he proposes to her at tonight's social.
He has only a single task before leaving for the manor house. Some newfangled scientist is seeking his patronage. Unbeknownst to Johnathan, the frightful Doctor Robenson is more frantic for funds than he appears. In an effort to ensure Johnathan's support Robenson infects him with his latest invention, an elixir made from the great British symbol, the lion. Johnathan must now support the foul man if he hopes to find a cure.
Now not only must Johnathan dance the intricate social ritual of marrying good Miss. Talbot, but also hide the physical changes as he slowly transforms into something that would be better seen in a freak show.
Meeting the in-laws. Never fun.

I vote that young Master Pennyfare eats the senior Master Talbot..... At the most convenient time within the story line.... Okay, I guess eating him is a little bit over the top. How about he just really scares the heck out of him and arranges for Mason to give him a lesson in financial management.
Heh. You know, you really annoyed me with your previous comment.
You have me wishing I'd written the lion formula as contagious. I now have such a desire to have him turning the entire town into a pride of lions!
Why is it the best ideas always come out after the story is finished!?
Oh, and Mr. Talbot will get a good lesson. But there's another element to add to the story yet...

For some reason I see Mr. Talbot's bravado brining him to the attention of a certain scientist. I think he would make and excellent musk ox or three toed sloth.
Well, maybe Emma could still have an "unfortunate" run in with the good doctor, so young Master Johnathan can have a proper were-lioness for a mate.
