A Haunting Tale of Love, Loss, and the Mystical Unknown.
Lucia Porter and Harry Cavanagh seem the unlikeliest of couples. She's a sheltered innocent from a modest background, while he's the worldly heir to a fortune and a title. Their whirlwind romance at university leads to a fairy-tale marriage-or so Lucia expects.
But beneath Harry's charm lies a man far different from the one she thought she knew. When tragedy strikes with the sudden death of their newborn son, Lucia's world shatters. On the verge of a breakdown, she escapes without Harry's knowledge to a remote retreat on a windswept Scottish island-a place steeped in ancient, otherworldly mystique.
At the retreat, Lucia meets four women who have also faced profound loss. Under the enigmatic guidance of Dr Crowley, a figure as compelling as he is mysterious, Lucia embarks on a journey unlike any other. As she delves deeper into the island's mystical power, reality begins to shift, and she is drawn into realms she never imagined-where forces beyond comprehension take hold of her life.
Butterflies is a masterful blend of suspense, metaphysical intrigue, and emotional depth. Described by The Wishing Shelf as truly excellent, this gripping drama carries an unforgettable ghostly and paranormal edge. Perfect for fans of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas and Andrew Michael Hurley's Starve Acre, it explores the uncharted territories of the human soul.
What readers are saying:
Terrific characters, sharp dialogue, a tight plot, and a very satisfying ending.
Brilliantly planned and compelling.
One of the most fascinating heroines I've met in a long time-simultaneously infuriating and enchanting.
An innocent girl is lost in a world she's unprepared for. Or is she?
Step into the haunting world of Butterflies-where love, loss, and destiny intertwine, and nothing is as it seems.
