A FATAL LOVE

Two great loves will lead her into terrible danger. One is her passion for the study of butterflies, then believed to be the souls of the dead. The other is the glamorous Royalist soldier who steals her heart as a girl. Eleanor Glanville's name lives on in the butterfly she discovered. This brilliant novel tells her extraordinary story for the first time.
