Every now and then, a fantasy novel comes along that doesnāt just transport youāit transforms you. A Sister to Butterflies isnāt just a story, itās a feeling, a pulse beneath your skin.
The narrator, a mystical being shaped by longing, recounts the moment she left her realm in search of something more. She discovers a boyāstorm-eyed and curiousāwhose love unlocks something buried within her. But love in a fractured world demands something back. The book explores how memory and myth shape identity, and what happens when you try to live in two worlds at once. Framed as a confession to a child, it unfolds slowly and beautifully, like a remembered song you didnāt know you missed.
